ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing) is a genomic technique that allows researchers to study the accessibility of chromatin. By identifying regions of open chromatin, ATAC-seq provides insights into regulatory elements of the genome, such as promoters and enhancers. This method uses a transposase enzyme that inserts sequencing adapters into accessible regions of the genome, followed by high-throughput sequencing to identify these regions.
