  • Can't sequence ATAC-Seq libraries

    We have prepared ATAC libraries for 24 samples following the protocol from Buenrostro et.al, using their custom Nextera-like primers and we have attempted to sequence these on NextSeq.
    We're essentially getting no reads and can't figure out why. The libraries show good fragment distribution on Tapestation, and we have also run a library quantification qPCR which also shows that there is sufficient sequenceable material.
    We're completely stuck, and Illumina as well as the ATAC forum have been of little help...
    If anyone can help, it would be very much appreciated!

    No reads, or no clusters?
    Nextera sequencing primers aren't included in HiSeq High Output chemstry reagents. But they are in MiSeq/HiSeq Rapid chemsitry and so should be in the NextSeq reagent kits.
    So my next thought would be that your adapters have an error in them that is preventing any sequence from being generated. You should go to the oligonucleotide synthesis company's specification sheet for your oligos and verify the sequence provided is the Nextera adapter sequence.

      We have successfully sequenced ATAC-Seq libraries on the Next-Seq. I need to look back at my notes, but we did not use the custom primers. Loosely based off Pamela Milani (Fraenkel Lab) We used the Nextera DNA Library Kit and Nextera Index primers. Sequencing run worked fine. Did you use PhiX on the run? That would give you some indication...

        Hey favwiz, did you ever figure out what was wrong?
        I seem to be having the same problem with my ATAC-Seq run...

          Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics
          by seqadmin


          At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

          How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
          by seqadmin



          Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...

          Methods for Investigating the Transcriptome
          by seqadmin




          Ribonucleic acid (RNA) represents a range of diverse molecules that play a crucial role in many cellular processes. From serving as a protein template to regulating genes, the complex processes involving RNA make it a focal point of study for many scientists. This article will spotlight various methods scientists have developed to investigate different RNA subtypes and the broader transcriptome.
