Understanding ATAC-Seq: A Key Technique in Epigenetics
The study of gene regulation has become increasingly important in understanding how various biological processes and diseases function at the molecular level. One powerful technique that has emerged for investigating the accessibility of chromatin is ATAC-Seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing). ATAC-Seq provides researchers with a high-resolution snapshot of the open regions of chromatin, offering insights into gene regulation and the mechanisms that control gene expression.
