    Can't sequence ATAC-Seq libraries

    We have prepared ATAC libraries for 24 samples following the protocol from Buenrostro et.al, using their custom Nextera-like primers and we have attempted to sequence these on NextSeq.
    We're essentially getting no reads and can't figure out why. The libraries show good fragment distribution on Tapestation, and we have also run a library quantification qPCR which also shows that there is sufficient sequenceable material.
    We're completely stuck, and Illumina as well as the ATAC forum have been of little help...
    If anyone can help, it would be very much appreciated!

    No reads, or no clusters?
    Nextera sequencing primers aren't included in HiSeq High Output chemstry reagents. But they are in MiSeq/HiSeq Rapid chemsitry and so should be in the NextSeq reagent kits.
    So my next thought would be that your adapters have an error in them that is preventing any sequence from being generated. You should go to the oligonucleotide synthesis company's specification sheet for your oligos and verify the sequence provided is the Nextera adapter sequence.

      We have successfully sequenced ATAC-Seq libraries on the Next-Seq. I need to look back at my notes, but we did not use the custom primers. Loosely based off Pamela Milani (Fraenkel Lab) We used the Nextera DNA Library Kit and Nextera Index primers. Sequencing run worked fine. Did you use PhiX on the run? That would give you some indication...

        Hey favwiz, did you ever figure out what was wrong?
        I seem to be having the same problem with my ATAC-Seq run...

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

          Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
