Could you please tell us, what should be the factors to get large size libraries sizes over 1kb. Do you think it is under-tagmentation, cell number dependent?

I got similar BA image post AmpureXP cleanup.
1] I was wondering what was the conversion factor you used to calculate the DNA concentration of the libraries for the cluster generation.
1.1 Did you use the broad range like 150-1200bp in BA and found out the pM concentration from BA region table? or
1.2 used some conversion tables for the ng/uL for each region of library? or
1.3 Did a Qubit HS DNA concentration of the libraries?
2] Illumina tells to normalize libraries to 2nM before adding them to cBOT prep tubes. Did you normalize to 2nM? If so did you use Tris-HCl pH8.5 with 0.1% Tween 20 or used the regular TE buffer which had DNA eluted post Ampure XP purification.
3] Did you use phiX control at 1-5% before loading on the cBot?
To answer your questions:
1.1 Yes, I used the full range. So, my average size was around 450-500 for each sample; I calculated the molarity from that to obtain eventually 4 nM in the end.
1.2 So, I did not specify for every region of the library.
1.3 I indeed measured the concentration with the Qubit.
For questions 2 en 3 I unfortunately cannot help you. I handed in pooled 4 nM libraries to our sequencing facility. (I elute my DNA from the beads with MilliQ.) The subsequent dilutions and processing are done by the facility.

How did you dissociate cells from frozen tissue?
Originally posted by Runuply View PostHi guys, I also used that protocol for ATAC-seq from frozen tissue, PCR amplification 5 cycles; and 7 cycles for qPCR(1 to 3rd of Max Fluorescent). It is a little hard for me to control the exact cell number, but after transposition and purification I will use 1ul to check by Qubit, which usually shows around 10ng/ul in 10ul (this should be equal to 25k cells or less). And after I did PCR amplification (in total 5+7 cycles), the purified DNA will be about 50ng/ul in 20ul.
The Bio analyzer is attached.
i am also doing ATAC-seq from froze tissue. Can you give me an idea how you dissociate cells from tissue? I am having difficulty with it. Thank you,

Originally posted by Wonghe View PostHi All, I've been trying to do ATAC-seq on nuclei isolated from frozen tissues with sucrose gradient. Although I am able to obtain a nucleosome-like pattern (see above attachment) but after sequencing I get many background peaks which are very noisy and the peaks at the TSS were not distinct. Anyone has any idea to improve the method and reduce the background peaks?
What kind of frozen tissue do you use? I feel like the cell isolation process is most important.

I am using frozen cartilage for ATAC-seq. I use collagenase to dissociate the chondrocytes.
What kind of frozen tissue do you use?

Hi All, I am also planning to start ATAC-seq using fresh cells. My question is how do I harvest the cells..is it by scraping cells in 1x cold PBS and then counting them on hemocytometer to make sure how many cells I am staring with. Also what should be the best internal control during sequencing? I assume cells without treatment with Transposase? Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am also trying to perform ATAC-seq on fresh cell. Did you solve the cell collection problem? Are you use trypsin or harvest cell by scraping? Thank you.

I have tried the standard protocol on COMMA-D mouse mammary cell line with limited success. We appear to have a log of smaller fragments and not getting the nice banding pattern typical of this technique. I have tried to optimise the TD reaction but that seems to have little effect. Has anyone gotten this to work on cell lines or cells which might be harder to lyse than blood cells?

For collecting cells, first I discarded the media, washed cells in PBS twice. Added TryPLE to detach cells and scraped them gently in regular media. Followed by counting cells in hemocytometer.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hi ATAC-fanatics.
Since my experience with ATAC is only 2 weeks old, I have a question regarding the quality of my ATAC library. I used 50.000 cells and followed the instruction as described in Buenrostro et al.
The Bioanalyzer gave me the following picture. It seems the DNA size of the libraries is quite small, no?
Do you guys think that its sequenceable??Attached Files

I did the AMpure , it looks good.
By the way, may I know that, normally how much DNA can you get after lysis if you use 50K cells? Do you check the concentration before PCR amplification.
I'm new user for ATAC-seq experiment, i see that you use AMpure beads to clean DNA, could i use it for the each purification step (after 30 min tagmentation, after PCR cycles...?) or only before loading in Bioanalyser?
thank you

ATAC-seq: Sequencing prep for Illumina hiseq2000
Hi all -
For those of you who prepare ATAC libraries followed by sequencing on Illumina hiseq2000
- what specific illumina-based protocols and reagents are you using? (for cbot, Hiseq, etc.)?
thanks.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
