The accessibility of different chromatin regions to transcription factors and other DNA-binding proteins is a critical determinant of cell function. Here, we detail a modified assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) protocol which measures chromatin accessibility genome wide. We describe nuclei isolation, tagmentation, PCR amplification, and pre- and post-sequencing quality control. Our protocol is optimized for the liver, a tissue where nuclei isolation requires distinct steps. We provide two detailed vignettes: one for bulk ATAC-seq and another for single-nuclei ATAC-seq.
不同染色质区域对转录因子和其他 DNA 结合蛋白的可及性是细胞功能的一个关键决定因素。在这里,我们详细描述了一种改良的转座酶可及染色质测序(ATAC-seq)协议,该协议可以全面测量染色质可及性。我们描述了核分离、标签化、PCR 扩增以及测序前后的质量控制。我们的方案针对肝脏进行了优化,肝脏是一种需要独特步骤进行核分离的组织。我们提供了两个详细的示例:一个用于批量 ATAC-seq,另一个用于单细胞 ATAC-seq。
