The human DNA chain is about 2m when it is fully unfolded, and needs to be folded into a chromatin structure before it can be stored in the nucleus. The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome (composed of histone), which refolds to form a highly compressed chromatin structure. The highly folded chromatin structure needs to expose DNA sequences during replication and transcription. This region can be used for the binding of transcription factors and other regulatory elements, so it is closely related to transcriptional regulation. After the compact nucleosome structure is destroyed, the accessibility of cis-regulatory elements such as promoters, enhancers, insulators, silencers, and trans-acting factors is called chromatin accessibility, and this region is called open chromatin or regions of chromatin accessibility.


ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high throughput sequencing) is a method we use to study chromatin accessibility, which uses the property of the transposase Tn5 to bind open chromatin to capture DNA sequences in open regions, and then obtain the epigenetic research technology of open chromatin regions through high-throughput sequencing. The Tn5 transposase enters and cleaves the exposed DNA regions, and then these regions are connected to a specific sequencing adaptor for high-throughput sequencing, and the sequenced regions are the open chromatin regions.

CapitalBio Technology’ Single-cell ATAC sequencing technology utilizes the 10x Genomics single-cell ATAC sequencing platform to detect the open regions of cellular chromatin at the single-cell level. First, the transposase enters the nucleus and preferentially fragments DNA in open regions of chromatin, while adding sequencing primers to the ends of the DNA fragments; secondly, gel beads with barcodes label the DNA fragments in each nucleus in oil droplets, and the DNA with barcode tags is used for subsequent library construction; finally, by sequencing the library on Illumina platform, a large number of single-cell DNA chromatin open region data can be obtained at one time.


In addition to single ATAC assays, 10x Genomics recently introduced single-cell multi-omics technology. After transposase-treated nuclei are encapsulated in oil droplets, special gel beads with barcodes can simultaneously capture DNA and mRNA in the nucleus, enabling combined ATAC and transcriptome detection in the same nucleus.
