Genome-wide maps of chromatin state in mouse perinatal testes [scATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: We report the application of single-cell ATAC-seq to reconstruct the epigenetic program and identify key transcription factors and cis-regulatory elements during the perinatal testiscular develpment. First, we constructed sequencing libraries from testes collected from E18.5, PND0, PND3 and PND6 mice. The cell clusters identidied from scATAC-seq were assigned to known testicular cell types, including germ cells, Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, peritubular myoid cells, stromal cells, endothelial cells and blood cells. We then constructed pseudotime developmental trajectories and identified transcription factor regulators for each cell type. Lastly, we identified cis-regulatory elements such peak-to-gene linkages across testis.
