ATAC-seq
open-in-new
<p>ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing) is a laboratory technique used in <a href="/facts/Molecular_biology/YgqU35ub">molecular biology</a> to assess genome-wide <a href="/facts/Chromatin/ha0TJheJ">chromatin accessibility</a>. The technique was first described in 2013 as an alternative approach to <a href="/facts/MNase-seq/U5AwPBYa">MNase-seq</a>, <a href="/facts/FAIRE-Seq/3maHN7cU">FAIRE-Seq</a> and <a href="/facts/DNase-Seq/LKAGGowj">DNase-Seq</a> but providing faster turnaround time, simplified protocol, and lower DNA input amount. </p>
