ATAC-Seq

Overview

ATACseq is a technique used to identify open versus closed chromatin regions (depleted on nucleosomes and high chromatin structure) in a context specific way (in particular cell types from controls and patients). The output of ATACseq is similar to the information provided by the well-established DNase I hypersensitivity but the former one has the advantage of reduced number of cells to be implemented (50,000 cells). This enables to apply it in clinical samples and allows comparison of the chromatin landscape between healthy and diseased individuals. High-density sequencing using Hiseq output will also allow to develop footprints for transcription binding sites. Overlapping of ATACseq information in cells from patients with other annotation information such as K27Ac, K4me1,K4me3, RNAseq, DHS, eQTLs...will help to prioritise those SNPs within loci identified to be associated to disease in different GWAS which may have a functional role in regulation of gene expression. These candidate SNPs will be suitable for later confirmation using the high-throughput chromosome conformation capture technique known as Capture-C.
