Experiment / E8Y1NPNZBStandard STARR-seq

Targeted BAC-derived STARR-seq of the MYC locus in K-562 under JQ1

Transcriptional plasticity promotes primary and acquired resistance to BET inhibition

A BAC-fragment library covering approximately 91% of the surrounding 3.1 Mb MYC region, together with 25 genic control BACs, was cloned into an episomal STARR-seq vector with a minimal MYC promoter. The library was electroporated into K-562 cells and assayed after 24 h in DMSO vehicle or 250 nM JQ1.

Perturbation & assay details

DMSO vehicle or 250 nM JQ1 for 24 h

Twenty-one BACs span the MYC locus and 25 additional BACs are genic controls. BAC DNA was fragmented and cloned into a human STARR-seq vector containing a minimal MYC promoter; 500 µg of library was electroporated into 1×10^8 K-562 cells per condition. Poly(A)+ reporter RNA and input plasmid DNA were sequenced in 50-cycle paired-end runs on an Illumina HiSeq 2000, and the public GEO products are normalized bigWig tracks.

Quality control

The study pipeline removed adapters with cutadapt v1.4.25, discarded reads shorter than 18 bp, aligned to hg19 with Bowtie v1.0.0, removed duplicate alignments with identical start/end/strand, normalized mapped reads, subsampled the two STARR-seq conditions to 10^5 reads, called peaks against the input library with MACS2, required at least 3-fold enrichment and 5 reads/kb, and merged calls across DMSO and JQ1. Because GEO provides normalized bigWig tracks rather than the original peak matrix, table.csv was re-derived over the published BAC union using 500-bp windows at 50-bp steps; a stabilized input-normalized enrichment of at least 3 in either condition, at least 5 reads/kb equivalent output support, and overlap with a published BAC were required. Only the 162 passing regions are included.

Curation notes

This is one STARR-seq screen represented by two treatment conditions, not two independent experiments. The paper reports 156 identified STARR-seq peaks; the public normalized bigWig tracks were re-called here with a transparent 500-bp/50-bp operationalization of the published input-enrichment criteria, yielding 162 QC-passing regions. GEO did not expose a replicate-level STARR-seq count matrix or peak-level FDR values, so no replicate p-values are asserted. Coordinates and coverage values are hg19 and BEDGraph/bigWig-style; input, DMSO, and JQ1 tracks plus the BAC source table are retained in raw_data.
