ATAC-seq profiles chromatin accessibility base-pair resolution, surfacing which regulatory elements (such as promoters, enhancers, and other cis-regulatory elements) are exposed to binding by proteins such as transcription factors or polymerase. From samples to figures, this turnkey ATAC‑seq service handles library prep, sequencing, and bioinformatics, delivering ready‑to‑use maps of open chromatin and differential accessibility across your cohorts.

Key ATAC‑seq applications

  • Mechanistic oncology and immunology studies that benefit from enhancer-level resolution.
  • Developmental or disease cohorts with scarce material or shifts in regulatory landscape.
  • CRISPR, degrader, and perturbation screens validating on-target chromatin outcomes.
  • Cell and gene therapy programs: monitor regulatory state in CAR‑T across discovery and optimization.

Collaboration model

  • Joint design sessions align sample availability, replicates, sequencing depth, and effective controls.
  • Project scientists remain embedded through QC reviews, data processing, and interpretation.
  • Bioinformatic intrgration ATAC with RNA, CUT&Tag, or third-party datasets on request.

Downstream Services

  • Motif discovery and regulatory annotation for differential peaks.
  • Promoter and enhancer linkage summaries for translational storytelling.
  • Actionable slide-ready visualizations delivered alongside raw outputs.
Epigenome Technologies turned around our chromatin accessibility cohort in under two weeks, complete with QC and preliminary differential analysis. The clarity of their consultation accelerated our translational readout.

Transparent workflow and checkpoints

  1. Plan

    We confirm sample condition, spike-ins, sequencing depth, and optional multiomic deliverables before kickoff.

  2. Prepare & construct

    Nuclei isolation and ATAC chemistry with QC on fragment ladders, complexity, and transposition efficiency.

  3. Sequence

    Paired-end runs on AVITI, NovaSeq, or NextSeq platforms with lane balancing against internal standards.

  4. Interpret

    Automated alignment peak calling, motif enrichment, and data packages aligned to your preferred analysis environment.
