Single-cell analysis of chromatin accessibility in the adult mouse brain

Here we report a comprehensive atlas of candidate cis-regulatory DNA elements (cCREs) in the adult mouse brain, generated through examination of the chromatin accessibility in 2.3 million individual brain cells from 117 anatomical dissections. The atlas includes approximately 1 million cCREs and their chromatin accessibility across 1482 distinct brain cell populations, adding over 446,000 new cCREs to the most recent such annotation in the mouse genome. Raw fastq files are demultiplexed. Out of 234 samples, fastq files for 6 samples are available in NCBI under the accession number GSE126724 (CEMBA180308_3B, CEMBA180312_3B, CEMBA180226_1A, CEMBA180227_1A, CEMBA180305_2B, CEMBA180306_2B). Processed data are SnapATAC2 (<= 2.4.0) h5ad files per sample, with raw fragments and 500-bp bmat. NOTE: due to the break changes in SnapATAC2 >= 2.5.0, the data can not be handled rightly in SnapATAC2 >= 2.5.0. We generated single-nucleus assys for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (snATAC-seq) libraries from 117 anatomic dissections of mouse brain and two replicates for each dissection.
