The assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) is used to identify open chromatin regions in cells. This can be used to identify putative regulatory regions, determine dynamics and mechanisms of transcription factors when coupled with ChIP-seq and predict interactions between proteins and chromatin. Compared to previous methods, MNase-seq and DNase-seq, ATAC-seq requires only 50,000 cells, orders of magnitude fewer cells. In addition, the ATAC-seq protocol takes one day to progress from cells to sequencing ready libraries.
利用测序技术进行转座酶可及染色质分析（ATAC-seq）用于识别细胞中的开放染色质区域。当与染色质免疫沉淀测序（ChIP-seq）结合使用时，它可用于识别潜在的调控区域、确定转录因子的动态变化和作用机制，并预测蛋白质与染色质之间的相互作用。与之前的方法，如微球菌核酸酶测序（MNase-seq）和脱氧核糖核酸酶测序（DNase-seq）相比，ATAC-seq仅需要50000个细胞，所需细胞数量减少了几个数量级。此外，ATAC-seq实验方案从细胞到准备好用于测序的文库只需一天时间。
