TLDR
This method probes DNA accessibility with hyperactive Tn5 transposase, which inserts sequencing adapters into accessible regions of chromatin, which can be used to infer regions of increased accessibility, as well as to map regions of transcription‐factor binding and nucleosome position.
Abstract
This unit describes Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq), a method for mapping chromatin accessibility genome-wide. This method probes DNA accessibility with hyperactive Tn5 transposase, which inserts sequencing adapters into accessible regions of chromatin. Sequencing reads can then be used to infer regions of increased accessibility, as well as to map regions of transcription-factor binding and nucleosome position. The method is a fast and sensitive alternative to DNase-seq for assaying chromatin accessibility genome-wide, or to MNase-seq for assaying nucleosome positions in accessible regions of the genome.

Chromatin accessibility and the regulatory epigenome.

TL;DR: The goal is to illustrate how chromatin accessibility defines regulatory elements within the genome and how these epigenetic features are dynamically established to control gene expression.

Lineage-specific and single-cell chromatin accessibility charts human hematopoiesis and leukemia evolution

TL;DR: The chromatin accessibility and transcriptional landscapes in 13 human primary blood cell types that span the hematopoietic hierarchy are defined and 'enhancer cytometry' is enabled for enumeration of pure cell types from complex populations.

Chromatin Modifications and Their Function

TL;DR: The surface of nucleosomes is studded with a multiplicity of modifications that can dictate the higher-order chromatin structure in which DNA is packaged and can orchestrate the ordered recruitment of enzyme complexes to manipulate DNA.

Transposition of native chromatin for fast and sensitive epigenomic profiling of open chromatin, DNA-binding proteins and nucleosome position

TL;DR: The feasibility of analyzing an individual's epigenome on a timescale compatible with clinical decision-making is demonstrated and classes of DNA-binding factors that strictly avoided, could tolerate or tended to overlap with nucleosomes are discovered.

Genome Regulation by Long Noncoding RNAs

TL;DR: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as discussed by the authors form extensive networks of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes with numerous chromatin regulators and then target these enzymatic activities to appropriate locations in the genome.
