  • what to do about uneven reads between ATACseq samples?

    I'm trying to look for differential open chromatin between 2 groups with two replicates each. After bowtie2 alignment, Group A has 70-76million paired reads while Group B had 80-95million paired reads.

    Peak calling with Genrich using replicate mode called out 20k peaks in Group A, 30k peaks in Group B.

    I'm guessing there's more identified peaks in Group B mainly because the two replicates in Group B had more reads to begin with. Because there's more called peaks in Group B than A, it's affecting my differential peak analysis.

    I used DiffBind for differential analysis and 95% of the differential peaks were unique to Group B. I had to input both the peak files along with the bam files so shouldn't Diffbind's normalization account for the uneven reads between the groups?

    Is there a critical normalization step I should have taken early on? Maybe downsampling the fastq files to equal number of reads? This is my first time doing ATACseq and I haven't been able to find any info on read normalization for atacseq.

    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...
