 # ATAC-seq Astrocyte Workflow
 
-<!-- TODO: Fill out intro (AS) -->
+ATAC-seq is a bioinformatics best-practice analysis pipeline used for ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing) data analysis. It is built upon ENCODE ATAC workflow written in workflow description language and uses Nextflow to run in the astrocyte platform.
 
 ## Requirements
 - The ATAC-seq Source workflow ['astrocyte-atac-source] (https://git.biohpc.swmed.edu/s219741/astrocyte-atac-source).
