Inactivation of ARID1A-SWI/SNF Complex Alters Chromatin Compactness at Enhancer Regions and Affects Transcription of Key Tumor Signaling Circuitry [ChIP-Seq]

For ATAC-seq data processing, we used the ENCODE ATAC-seq pipeline (https://www.encodeproject.org/atac-seq/). In detail, for each sample, ATAC-seq reads were first checked for adaptor contamination. Then, adaptor trimmed reads were aligned to hg19 using Bowtie2 under paired-end mode with parameter “-X2000”, which permits 2000 bp for the maximum allowable insert size between two paired ends of each read. Using the ENCODE ATAC-seq pipeline, duplicated reads were properly filtered out. ATAC-seq enriched peaks were called using MACS2 (Zhang et al., 2008) based on remaining unique reads with parameters “-f BAMPE -q 0.05 --nomodel”. In total, we collected 45,569 peaks for the ARID1AWT sample and 27,480 peaks for the ARID1AKO sample. ChIP-seq profiling of isogenic ARID1A knockout pair of human endometrial epithelial cells
