ATAC-seq is a fast and sensitive method for the epigenomic profiling of open chromatin and for mapping of transcription factor binding sites [1]. Despite the development of the Omni-ATAC protocol for the profiling of chromatin accessibility in frozen tissues [2], studies in adipose tissue have been restricted due to technical challenges including the high lipid content of adipocytes and reproducibility issues between replicates. Here, we provide a modified Omni-ATAC protocol that achieves high data reproducibility in various tissue types from rat, including adipose and muscle tissues [3]. • This protocol describes a methodology that enables chromatin accessibility profiling from snap-frozen rat adipose and muscle tissues. • The technique comprises an optimized bead-based tissue homogenization process that substitutes to Dounce homogenization, reduces variability in the experimental procedure, and is adaptable to various tissue types. • In comparison with the Omni-ATAC protocol, the method described here results in improved ATAC-seq data quality that complies with ENCODE quality standards. |
