  • 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...

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
