Tn5 transposase use in biotechnology has substantially advanced the sequencing applications of genome-wide analysis of cells. This is mainly due to the ability of Tn5 transposase to efficiently transpose DNA essentially randomly into any target DNA without the aid of other factors. This concise review is focused on the advances in Tn5 applications in multi-omics technologies, genome-wide profiling, and Tn5 hybrid molecule creation. The possibilities of other transposase uses are also discussed.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has transformed our understanding of cellular diversity with unprecedented resolution. However, many current methods are limited in capturing full-length transcripts and discerning strand orientation. Here, we present RAG-seq, an innovative strand-specific total RNA sequencing technique that combines not-so-random (NSR) primers with Tn5 transposase-mediated tagmentation.

G-quadruplex DNA structures (G4s) form within single-stranded DNA in nucleosome-free chromatin. As G4s modulate gene expression and genomic stability, genome-wide mapping of G4s has generated strong research interest. Recently, the Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation (CUT&Tag) method was performed with the G4-specific BG4 antibody to target Tn5 transposase to G4s.

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.

Tagmentation combines DNA fragmentation and sequencing adapter addition by leveraging the transposition activity of the bacterial cut-and-paste Tn5 transposase, to enable efficient sequencing library preparation. Here we present an open-source protocol for the generation of multi-purpose hyperactive Tn5 transposase, including its benchmarking in CUT&Tag, bulk and single-cell ATAC-seq. The OpenTn5 protocol yields multi-milligram quantities of pG-Tn5 protein per liter of culture, sufficient for thousands of tagmentation reactions and the enzyme retains activity in storage for more than a year.
