摘要:

染色质转座酶可及性测序(assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing, ATAC-seq)诞生于2013年,具有比脱氧核糖核酸酶I超敏感位点测序(deoxyribonuclease I hypersensitive site sequencing, DNase-seq)和微球菌核酸酶敏感位点测序(micrococcal nuclease sequencing, MNase-seq)更快速、灵敏、简便的优点,是目前分析全基因组范围染色质开放区域的热点技术。通过该技术能获得染色质开放区域的相关信息,从而映射出转录因子等调控蛋白的结合区域和核小体定位等信息,对于研究表观遗传分子机制具有重要意义。本文比较了5种获取染色质开放区域技术的优缺点,重点介绍了ATAC-seq的原理和主要流程,描述了利用ATAC-seq技术研究染色质开放区域的发展概况以及ATAC-seq的相关应用,期望对真核生物全基因组水平的染色质开放区域研究、顺式调控元件鉴定以及遗传调控网络的解析等提供借鉴。

Abstract:

Assay for transposase accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) was developed in 2013. It has the advantages of more convenient operation and higher efficiency for DNA recovery than DNase I hypersensitive site sequencing (DNase-seq) and micrococcal nuclease sequencing (MNase-seq). ATAC-seq currently is the most popular technique of genome-wide mapping for chromatin accessibility. It provides information on binding regions of transcription factors and nucleosome localization on the chromatin. Thus, ATAC-seq is of great significance for studying the epigenetics and molecular mechanisms in chromatin structure. In this review, we compare the advantages and disadvantages of multiple techniques for profiling chromatin accessibility, and summarize the principles, main process, development and applications of ATAC-seq. We hope this review will provide a reference for study of genome-wide mapping for chromatin accessibility, identification of cis-regulatory elements, and dissection of the epigenetic and genetic regulatory networks using the ATAC-seq technology in eukaryotes.

Key words: assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing, open chromatin regions, Tn5 transposase, epigenetic modification, transcription factor
