Ok, we did try @ParseBio SPLIT-Seq WT kit. We don’t have the data yet but workflow-wise it was super easy. I really liked the simplicity and that the kit comes with pretty much all you need. Totally manageable for anybody who has done 96-well work and multi-channel pipettes. 1/6
They also have a super easy to fill out Excel sheet that makes all the calculations for you. Peace of mind right there. If you counted your cells correctly then you are for a good start. 2/6
You DO need at least 3x more cells input to ensure you end up with the targeted numbers of cells at the end. Of course, viability and cell numbers before and after fixation is critical. 3/6
Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin (ATAC-Seq) was originally published in in 2013 (@naturemethods PMID: 24097267) by @JD_Buenrostro in the labs of H. Chang and W. Greenleaf at @Stanford.
ATAC-Seq is a VERY efficient technique, and was quickly implemented at #singlecell level in 2015 by the same team (@nature PMID: 26083756). These are good reads and help understand why this method is so revolutionary.
