Did you see the preprint from The Gymrek lab and mine led by @xzhangbsky.bsky.social?
This cool work uses MPRAs to systematically study the impact of variation in short tandem repeats on expression. So many interesting biological directions!

Systematic evaluation of the impact of promoter proximal short tandem repeats on expression
Genetic variation at thousands of short tandem repeats (STRs), which consist of consecutive repeated sequences of 1-6bp, has been statistically associated with gene expression and other molecular phen...

We identified optimal conditions, show that double cross-linking works just as well as single for histone marks while allows capturing of other DNA-associated proteins and note an important observation regarding the ratio of antibody to cell-number (chromatin).
