Single cell ATAC-seq (scATAC-seq) was performed at various stages of differentiation of chimpanzee induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) to 4 month old cerebral organoids. scATAC-seq was performed on the following days of differentiation: day 0 (pluripotent stem cell), day 4 (embryoid body), day 10 (neuroectoderm), day 15 (neuroepithelium), day 30 (1 month old cerebral organoid), day 60 (2 months old cerebral organoid), and day 120 (4 months old cerebral organoid).
