    ATACseq total amplification cycle number

    I am optimizing my ATACseq and have questions about the normal range of total PCR cycle number.

    What is the total number of PCR cycles people get for their ATACseq runs? Mine has been usually the initial 5 cycles + 8-15 additional cycles (depending on the run). The high total amp cycle feels shaky since the original ATACseq paper cited 10-12 total cycles (i.e. 5 initial cycle + 5-7 additional ones). I recently did a 25K to 100K cell curve, but PCR cycle # was not proportional to cell number. I followed the protocol exact, but this has been a persisting issue since the beginning.

    Do people have any insight or experience with this? Thank you so much!

    Hey, I have a similar issue. Mine have been hitting the 1/3 max fluorescence threshold at around 8-10 additional cycles but I have been hesitant to do many more above the recommended. Did you ever figure this out/has it been an issue after sequencing?
    Thanks!

      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
