We developed a two-pronged strategy to functionally probe the enormous repertoire of noncoding DNA within genomes. Our approach markedly improved signal-to-noise ratio and successfully intersected single-cell genomics with reporter assays. The result delivers a multiplex and highly quantitative readout of regulatory sequences’ activity in dynamic and multicellular systems.
