ATAC-seq was performed as previously described (Buenrostro et al. 2013 (link)). Sixty-thousand cells were washed once with 100 mL of PBS and resuspended in 50 mL of lysis buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl at pH 7.4, 10 mM NaCl, 3 mM MgCl2, 0.2% IGEPAL CA-630). The suspension of nuclei was then centrifuged at 500g for 10 min at 4°C, followed by the addition of 50 mL of transposition reaction mix (25 mL of TD buffer, 2.5 mL of Tn5 transposase, 22.5 mL of nuclease-free H2O) and incubation for 30 min at 37°C. DNA was isolated using MiniElute kit (Qiagen). Libraries were amplified by PCR (13 cycles). After the PCR reaction, the library was selected for fragments between 100 and 1000 bp with AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter). Libraries were purified with Qiaquick PCR (Qiagen) and integrity-checked on a Bioanalyzer before sequencing.
