Profiling single-cell chromatin accessibility in plants

Summary: Coupling assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) with microfluidic separation and cellular barcoding has emerged as a powerful approach to investigate chromatin accessibility of individual cells. Here, we define a protocol for constructing single-cell ATAC-seq libra...

Description
Summary:Summary: Coupling assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) with microfluidic separation and cellular barcoding has emerged as a powerful approach to investigate chromatin accessibility of individual cells. Here, we define a protocol for constructing single-cell ATAC-seq libraries from maize seedling nuclei and the preliminary computational steps for assessing data quality. This protocol can be readily adapted to other plant species or tissues with minor changes to reveal chromatin accessibility variation among individual cells.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Marand et al. (2021).
