The application discloses a method for improving
chromatin DNA accessibility in cells and application thereof, relates to the technical field of
gene sequencing and
tissue cell sample analysis, and comprises the following steps: providing a sample to be detected; mixing the sample to be detected with an
alcohol reagent to permeabilize cells and
expose heterochromatin regions of the sample to be detected, so as to obtain a pretreated sample; performing fragmentation treatment on
DNA of the pretreated sample, performing reverse transcription reaction on
RNA in the pretreated sample, performing labeling on the fragmented
DNA and the cDNA after the reverse transcription reaction, and separating labeled
genomic DNA and cDNA; and performing
library construction and sequencing on the fragments of the labeled
genomic DNA and the cDNA product respectively, so as to obtain single-
cell genomic information and
transcriptome information of the sample to be detected. The
alcohol reagent can open the heterochromatin without bias to obtain more
nucleic acid fragments, improve the sensitivity of single-
cell genome detection, does not affect
RNA detection, and realizes high-
throughput double-
omics analysis of single-
cell whole-
genome DNA and
RNA.
