Single-cell analysis can help tease apart heterogeneity in complex cell populations, distinguishing cell types and revealing dynamic cell states. The 10x Genomics Chromium Single Cell Multiome ATAC + Gene Expression prepares sequencing-ready libraries to simultaneously profile gene expression and chromatin accessibility from the same cell.

Combining ATAC sequencing and gene expression profiling has become more affordable and accessible on new sequencing platforms. Illumina NovaSeq X enable more in-depth sequencing and easier onboard informatics, allowing more information per sample. Illumina has recently published NovaSeq X sequencing data for single cell ATAC and gene expression profiling, in collaboration with 10X Genomics.
