scATAC-Seq (Cell index variation)

Single-Cell Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin

This version of scATAC-seq uses combinatorial cellular indexing to measure chromatin accessibility in thousands of single cells per assay. This method avoids the need for compartmentalization of individual cells, which makes the system scalable to analyze thousands of cells at a time (Cusanovich et al., 2015).

In this method, nuclei are isolated and molecularly tagged in bulk with barcoded Tn5 transposases in wells. Next, the nuclei are pooled and a limited number redistributed into a second set of wells. A second barcode is introduced during the PCR amplification step, and the fragments are pooled for library preparation and sequencing.

Advantages:

• High throughput and scalable

Disadvantages:

• None reported

Reagents:

Illumina Library prep and Array Kit Selector
