ATAC-seq is a fast and sensitive method for the epigenomic profiling of open chromatin and for mapping of transcription factor binding sites [1]. Despite the development of the Omni-ATAC protocol for the profiling of chromatin accessibility in frozen tissues [2], studies in adipose tissue have been restricted due to technical challenges including the high lipid content of adipocytes and reproducibility issues between replicates. Here, we provide a modified Omni-ATAC protocol that achieves high data reproducibility in various tissue types from rat, including adipose and muscle tissues [3].•This protocol describes a methodology that enables chromatin accessibility profiling from snap-frozen rat adipose and muscle tissues.•The technique comprises an optimized bead-based tissue homogenization process that substitutes to Dounce homogenization, reduces variability in the experimental procedure, and is adaptable to various tissue types.•In comparison with the Omni-ATAC protocol, the method described here results in improved ATAC-seq data quality that complies with ENCODE quality standards.

Chromatin accessibility is a key determinant of gene expression that can be altered under different physiological and disease conditions. Skeletal muscle is made up of myofibers that are highly plastic and adaptive. Therefore, assessing the genome-wide chromatin state of myofibers under various conditions is very important to gain insight into the epigenetic state of myonuclei.

The assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) provides a simple and scalable way to detect the unique chromatin landscape associated with a cell type and how it may be altered by perturbation or disease. ATAC-seq requires a relatively small number of input cells and does not require a priori knowledge of the epigenetic marks or transcription factors governing the dynamics of the system. Here we describe an updated and optimized protocol for ATAC-seq, called Omni-ATAC, that is applicable across a broad range of cell and tissue types.

ATAC-seq (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing) is a powerful method to evaluate chromatin accessibility and nucleosome positioning at a genome-wide scale. This assay uses a hyperactive Tn5 transposase, to simultaneously cut open chromatin and insert adapter sequences. After sequencing, the reads generated through this technique are generally indicative of transcriptional regulatory elements that are located in accessible chromatin.

There is very little information about how the genome is regulated in domestic pigs (Sus scrofa). This lack of knowledge hinders efforts to define and predict the effects of genetic variants in pig breeding programs. To address this knowledge gap, we need to identify regulatory sequences in the pig genome starting with regions of open chromatin.
