| ATAC-seq |
ATAC-Seq is a rapid assay of the epigenetic state by enabling identification of open chromatin regions. In the assay, intact nuclei are treated with a hyperactive Tn5 transposase mutant which is able to simultaneously tag the target DNA with sequencing adapters and frag- ment the DNA in a process termed “tagmentation”2. Because of the assay’s speed, simplicity, sensitivity, and applicability to a wide range of sample types, ATAC-Seq has become a commonly used epigentic assay, and can serve as a gateway to further, more detailed, epigenetic analyses. The ATAC-Seq Kit provides the reagents necessary to produce 16 unique sequencing-ready Illumina®-compatible ATAC-Seq libraries from 20 - 30 mg tissue or 50,000 - 100,000 cells per reaction. |
Inquire | |
| ChIP sample prep |
Designed to allow high quality DNA enrichment from as little as 1,000 cells per ChIP reaction for abundant targets and as little as 50,000 cells for low abundance transcription factors. The kit is also optimized to give superior results when performing chromatin immunoprecipitation using antibodies against low abundance proteins, such as transcription factors, or antibodies with sub-optimal binding affinities.
Does not include antibody. Please see list of antibodies available in epigenetic services. |
