A new assay can concurrently trace, in thousands of different cells, the marks that shape what each cell's genome will do -- the epigenome -- and the copies of the instructions themselves -- the transcriptome. The epigenome and transcriptome are part of the molecular biology that converts the genetic blueprint of DNA into tools and materials for living cells.
