Review and Evaluate the Bioinformatics Analysis Strategies of ATAC-seq and CUT&Tag Data.

ABSTRACT: Efficient and reliable profiling methods are essential to study epigenetics. Tn5, one of the first identified prokaryotic transposases with high DNA-binding and tagmentation efficiency, is widely adopted in different genomic and epigenomic protocols for high-throughputly exploring the genome and epigenome. Based on Tn5, the Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) and the Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation (CUT&Tag) were developed to measure chromatin accessibility and detect DNA-protein interactions. These methodologies can be applied to large amounts of biological samples with low-input levels, such as rare tissues, embryos, and sorted single cells. However, fast and proper processing of these epigenomic data has become a bottleneck because massive data
