International audience. Genome-wide analysis of transcription factors and epigenomic features is instrumental to shed light on DNA-templated regulatory processes such as transcription, cellular differentiation or to monitor cellular responses to environmental cues. Two decades of technological developments have led to a rich set of approaches progressively pushing the limits of epigenetic profiling towards single cells. More recently, disruptive technologies using innovative biochemistry came into play. Assays such as CUT&RUN, CUT&Tag and variations thereof show considerable potential to survey multiple TFs or histone modifications in parallel from a single experiment and in native conditions. These are in the path to become the dominant assays for genome-wide analysis of TFs and chromatin modifications in bulk, single-cell, and spatial genomic applications. The principles together with pros and cons are discussed.
