The Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin, or ATAC-seq, is a powerful technique designed to identify open chromatin regions across the entire genome. These accessible areas, also called euchromatin, are where crucial regulatory components like promoters, enhancers, and transcription factors can interact with DNA. By using ATAC-seq, researchers can explore active epigenetic processes in their samples without any prior assumptions about the underlying mechanisms. This approach offers a comprehensive view of regulatory element activity, making it invaluable for studying gene expression regulation at a molecular level. Our ATAC-seq kits are provided by Zymo Research and Active Motif. Contact our NGS specialists if you need assistance in deciding which one is right for you.
