We are new to ATAC-Seq. We have performed library validation and several of our samples have produced results similar to those in the image attached. We have a single large peak at 186 bp. Are we okay to go ahead for sequencing? Thanks a lot.

I forgot to mention that above samples are from FACS mouse cells. We also tried IP instead of FACS, which gave us multiple small peaks, which method shall I go on? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. -
We run qc chips for people doing ATACseq with some frequency. I'm never sure what a "good" result is.
I guess you want a large percentage of your DNA to be in the nucleosome monomer size range? But you also want to see some multimers? Not sure.

It seems that your library is over tagmented. Maybe you should decrease the incubation time while performing the tagmentation.Comment

I would also say that it is over-tagmented. Which Tn5 are you using, Nextera or home-made? Maybe there is too much Tn5 for the number of cells you are using?Comment

Here is what my ATAC libraries look like. I agree that optimization of tagmentation enzyme amount or time should be considered.
What is you input amount? Are you starting with <50,000 cells? Smaller input amounts will require less enzyme and/or shorter incubation.Last edited by RickC7; 06-14-2018, 08:25 AM.Comment

Did you solve this? My libraries look like yoursComment

Does my library look ok?
Hello, I performed ATACseq preparation of librarys I used 50.000 cells counted by en bauer chamber, and following the protocol of Buen rostro, I did 25 cycles in total of PCR. Can someone tell me if this library looks ok? (attached pdf 1st sample) I am not sure about it. Thank you so much for your help
Best

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.

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
