    Abstract: The disclosure pertains to a method for isolating DNA fragments that contain a binding site for a guide-RNA of an RNA-guided endonuclease. The method comprises contacting the RNA-guided endonuclease with a target double-stranded DNA, thereby producing a single stranded DNA (ss-DNA) at the site to which the guide-RNA binds. The ssDNA is then reacted with kethoxal or an analog thereof modified by a chemoselective group, thereby adding the chemoselective group to any unpaired guanine based within the ssDNA. A first binding member of a specific binding pair is linked to the chemoselective group, for example, via a cycloaddition reaction. The DNA is fragmented and the DNA fragments that contain the binding sites for the guide-RNA are enriched using a support that comprises a second binding member of the specific binding pair. The method can be used to identify binding sites for a guide-RNA thereby identifying off-target binding sites.

    Abstract: The methods, compositions, and kits of the disclosure provide a novel approach for a whole genome, unbiased DNA analysis method that can be performed on limited amounts of DNA. can be used to analyze DNA to determine its modification status. Aspects of the disclosure relate to a method for amplifying bisulfite-treated deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules comprising: (a) ligating an adaptor to the DNA molecules, wherein the adaptor comprises a RNA polymerase promoter comprising bisulfite-protected cytosines; (b) treating the ligated DNA molecules with bisulfite; (c) hybridizing the bisulfite-treated DNA molecules with a primer; (d) extending the hybridized primer to make double stranded DNA; and (e) in vitro transcribing the double-stranded DNA to make RNA.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to N3-kethoxal reagents and derivatives thereof, and related methods that allow fast and reversible labeling of single-stranded nucleic acids in live cells. By way of example, one aspect is directed to a process for reversible labeling of single-stranded guanine bases in live cells, which results in an effective in vivo method for transcriptome-wide RNA secondary structure mapping and RNA G-quadruplex prediction.

    Abstract: Certain embodiments are directed to compositions and methods for capture of elements in physical proximity. In certain aspects the methods comprise (a) contacting a target with a functionalized scaffold or capture agent that comprises activatable cross-linking moieties to form a target/scaffold mixture; (b) exposing the target/scaffold mixture to an activator to activate the cross-linking moieties of the dendrimer and form a cross-linked target/scaffold complex; (c) isolating the target/scaffold complexes; and (d) identify portions of the target or targets that are cross linked with the scaffold.
