Comprehensive characterization of tissue-specific chromatin accessibility in L2 Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes.

ABSTRACT: Recently developed single-cell technologies allow researchers to characterize cell states at ever greater resolution and scale. Caenorhabditis elegans is a particularly tractable system for studying development, and recent single-cell RNA-seq studies characterized the gene expression patterns for nearly every cell type in the embryo and at the second larval stage (L2). Gene expression patterns give insight about gene function and into the biochemical state of different cell types; recent advances in other single-cell genomics technologies can now also characterize the regulatory context of the genome that gives rise to these gene expression levels at a single-cell resolution. To explore the regulatory DNA of individual cell types in C. elegans, we collected single-cell chroma
