● Service requires tissue samples, instead of extracted nucleic acids, to conserve the DNA-protein interactions.
● ATAC method includes tissue dissociation, followed by nuclei isolation, Tn5 treatment and purification, PCR amplification, size selection and sequencing.
● Sequencing in Illumina NovaSeq
● High Sensitivity: low starting cell quantity is sufficient for library preparation and sequencing.
● Highly Informative Technique: simultaneously reveals the genomic locations of open chromatin and active regulatory elements such as transcription factor binding sites.
● Good Experimental Reproducibility: technical replicates show excellent repeatability.
● Extensive Expertise: with hundreds of ATAC sequencing projects successfully completed, BMKGENE brings over a decade of experience, a highly skilled analysis team, comprehensive content, and excellent post-sales support.
● Possibility to Join with Transcriptomics Analysis: allowing for the integrated analysis of ATAC seq with other omics data such as RNA-seq.
● Comprehensive Bioinformatic Analysis: enabling not only the identification of the open regions of the chromatin and their corresponding functionality (promoters, UTs, exons, introns) but also the analysis of differences between chromatin open regions among samples.
