ATAC-seq technical platform
New experimental platform dedicated to epigenomic analysis based on ATAC-seq technology
From January 2025, SIRIC Montpellier Cancer will launch a new experimental platform dedicated to epigenomic analysis based on ATAC-seq technology. This platform will be available to all SIRIC teams and will respond to specific needs to complete the characterisation of their experimental models and patient-derived biological collections.
How ATAC-seq platform works
The experimental part will be supported by the platform located in Eric Soler’s lab at the IGMM.
From January 2, 2025, an engineer, Noémie Legoff, under the supervision of Charlotte Andrieu-Soler (CRCN-Inserm), will generate the ATAC-seq libraries from your samples (fresh or frozen).
This phase 1 will be financially supported by SIRIC Montpellier Cancer.
The sequencing of the libraries will be externalised but coordinated by the platform, at the expense of the user team
ATAC-seq Training Course
In March 2025, SIRIC Montpellier Cancer held a 3-day training workshop on bioinformatics and epigenomic data analysis, with a specific focus on ATAC-seq data mining.
- Supervision: This workshop was be facilitated by a team of experts in the field (Pierre-François Roux, Michaël Patron, Dassou Sika, Mohammad Salma)
- Objectives and topics covered: The training is designed to provide participants with in-depth theoretical knowledge as well as practical, hands-on sessions to explore cutting-edge tools and methods for analysing ATAC-seq data. Participants will learn about experimental design for ATAC-seq projects, quality control of raw sequencing data, mapping and alignment of ATAC-seq reads, peak calling and annotation of chromatin accessibility regions, and differential analysis. In addition, the workshop will cover visualisation and integration of ATAC-seq data with other omics datasets. The training combines lectures, interactive tutorials, and hands-on exercises to explore advanced bioinformatics tools and pipelines in a collaborative environment.
