Germination is a highly dynamic developmental transition from dry quiescent seeds to vegetative seedlings which involves major chromatin rearrangements and changes in transcriptional programs. Assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) is a quick and reproducible method for quantifying relative chromatin accessibility genome-wide. In this chapter, we describe the use of ATAC-seq for profiling chromatin accessibility changes and differential transcription factor binding site accessibility during germination from enriched embryos.

摘要

Germination is a highly dynamic developmental transition from dry quiescent seeds to vegetative seedlings which involves major chromatin rearrangements and changes in transcriptional programs. Assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) is a quick and reproducible method for quantifying relative chromatin accessibility genome-wide. In this chapter, we describe the use of ATAC-seq for profiling chromatin accessibility changes and differential transcription factor binding site accessibility during germination from enriched embryos.
