  • ATAC-seq quality control

    Hello,

    I am analysing ATAC-seq data for the first time and am wondering what typical values are for:

    Total number of reads
    Duplication rate
    Percentage of reads uniquely mapping
    Percentage of reads that map to protein-coding genes

    Once I've finished mapping I'll post the values I get.

    Also, what metrics do you take into account when assessing the quality of your ATAC-seq data?

    Many thanks in advance,

    Kath

    - the total number of reads depends on the platform you sequence on. on a miseq it should be about 25mio per flowcell, on a nextseq500 it can be up to 400mio. instead of total read numbers, better check if the alignment rate is sufficiently high. also keep in mind that many reads will map to the mitochondrial genome, as the MT chromosome is also transposed during sample preparation. primary cells typically have a smaller fraction of MT than (tumor) cell lines. values between 50-80% of mt reads are not unusual.

      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...
