- DNA can determine where and when genes are expressed, but the full set of sequence determinants that control gene expression is unknown. Here, we measured the transcriptional activity of DNA sequences that represent an ~100 times larger sequence space than the human genome using massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs). Machine learning models revealed that transcription factors (TFs) generally act in an additive manner with weak grammar and that most enhancers increase expression from a promoter by a mechanism that does not appear to involve specific TF–TF interactions. The enhancers themselves can be classified into three types: classical, closed chromatin and chromatin dependent. We also show that few TFs are strongly active in a cell, with most activities being similar between cell types. Individual TFs can have multiple gene regulatory activities, including chromatin opening and enhancing, promoting and determining transcription start site (TSS) activity, consistent with the view that the TF binding motif is the key atomic unit of gene expression.

- Sequencing of newly synthesised RNA can monitor transcriptional dynamics with great sensitivity and high temporal resolution, but is currently restricted to populations of cells. Here, we develop new transcriptome alkylation-dependent single-cell RNA sequencing (NASC-seq), to monitor newly synthesised and pre-existing RNA simultaneously in single cells. We validate the method on pre-labelled RNA, and by demonstrating that more newly synthesised RNA was detected for genes with known high mRNA turnover. Monitoring RNA synthesis during Jurkat T-cell activation with NASC-seq reveals both rapidly up- and down-regulated genes, and that induced genes are almost exclusively detected as newly transcribed. Moreover, the newly synthesised and pre-existing transcriptomes after T-cell activation are distinct, confirming that NASC-seq simultaneously measures gene expression corresponding to two time points in single cells. Altogether, NASC-seq enables precise temporal monitoring of RNA synthesis at single-cell resolution during homoeostasis, perturbation responses and cellular differentiation.
