Protocol for single-nucleus ATAC sequencing and bioinformatic analysis in frozen human brain tissue
Summary: Single-nucleus ATAC sequencing (snATAC-seq) employs a hyperactive Tn5 transposase to gain precise information about the cis-regulatory elements in specific cell types. However, the standard protocol of snATAC-seq is not optimized for all tissues,

ABSTRACT Rates of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYA), age 15–39 years, are increasing. Consequently, radiation oncologists are treating more AYAs who have diagnoses spanning both pediatric and adult practices. Compared to pediatric and older adult patients, AYAs face a unique set of challenges.
