ATAC-Seq

Service Description:

ATAC-seq (Assay For Transposase-Accessible Chromatin Sequencing) is a fast and sensitive high-throughput sequencing method for epigenomic profiling of open chromatin, DNA-binding proteins, and nucleosome position. ATAC-seq uses hyperactive Tn5 transposase to simultaneously cut and ligate adapters for high-throughput sequencing at regions of increased accessibility. This technique will allow multidimensional assays of the regulatory landscape of chromatin with a relatively simple and fast protocol. Unlike methods such as MNase-seq,ChIP-seq, and DNase-seq which often require tens to hundreds of millions ofcells as input material, ATAT-seq can be carried out with a standard sample size of 50,000 cells. Therefore, ATAC-seq is a fast and sensitive alternativeto DNase-Seq for assaying genome-wide chromatin accessibility, or to MNase forassaying nucleosome positions in accessible regions of the genome.

Advantages of ATAC-Seq:

  • Gain mechanistic insight into gene regulation, cellular response to treatment or disease

  • Identify which transcription factors are driving cellfate, disease, or response

  • Limited patient samples

  • Low requirements on the amount of the biological sample,and the whole protocol requires 3 hours in total
