ATAC-Seq Spike-In Control Overview
Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-Seq) has emerged as a powerful method for investigating open or accessible chromatin across the genome. However, the identification of differences between data sets can be challenging when global modification changes occur, such as in the case of studying the effects of chromatin modifying enzyme inhibitors. Additionally inaccurate quantification of starting material or technical variation during processing results in variation across sample data. Currently available bioinformatic-based normalization methods are not applicable in these instances, and the only reliable way to overcome bias and variation is to add a known standard (spike-in) into all samples. Active Motif offers spike-in reagents for ChIP-Seq and CUT&Tag, and has now introduced a similar approach for ATAC-Seq.
Active Motif’s strategy for ATAC-Seq normalization is to spike-in cryopreserved Drosophila cell nuclei into samples prior to nuclei prep and tagmention. During tagmentation both the test cells and the Drosophila nuclei are tagged at open chromatin consistently across all samples. A normalization factor is then created based on the Drosophila signal and applied to the test genome.
ATAC-Seq Spike-In Control Advantages:
- Identify differences between datasets
- Reveal changes in open chromatin that were masked by cell number differences
- Overcome bias and variation with known standard
