Genome-wide maps of chromatin structure in wild-type and nanos mutant primordial germ cells in C. elegans
The Nanos family of RNA-binding proteins has been implicated in the specification of primordial germ cells (PGCs) in a wide range of metazoans, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We have profiled the transcriptome of PGCs lacking the nanos homologues nos-1 and nos-2 in C. elegans using cell sorting and RNA-seq. nos-1nos-2 PGCs fail to silence hundreds of genes normally expressed in oocytes and somatic cells, a phenotype reminiscent of PGCs lacking the repressive PRC2 complex...

Deep data QC
insufficient data to scoreStandardized, field-standard QC computed by touching the data — every metric states how it was obtained
The insufficient grade is a transparent weighted average. Each metric below scored from 0–100% against the published ATAC-seq thresholds, weighted by its importance; nothing is hidden or subjective.
