Ovarian somatic cell genome-wide STARR-seq enhancer activity screen

Dissection of thousands of cell type-specific enhancers identifies dinucleotide repeat motifs as general enhancer features

A genome-wide approximately 500-bp Drosophila melanogaster genomic-fragment library was assayed episomally in ovarian somatic cells using the self-transcribing active regulatory region reporter. The processed table contains final STARR-seq peak calls, log2 cDNA/input enrichment, and the paper's stringent enhancer-class membership.

Processed tables are specific to each experiment. Column names, units, measurements, and table structure are not standardized across the database. Check this experiment’s column definitions and quality-control notes before comparing or combining data.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

Episomal STARR-seq used a genome-wide Drosophila genomic-fragment library of approximately 500 bp cloned into a pGL3-Promoter-derived reporter carrying the Drosophila Synthetic Core Promoter, sgGFP ORF, and polyadenylation signal. Candidate fragments were transcribed as part of reporter RNA and activity was quantified as log2 enrichment of cDNA fragments over plasmid/input; the source GSE40739 OSC experiment had two paired-end biological replicates and respective inputs.

Column dictionary · 17 definitions
element_id
Stable package identifier assigned in source-file order to an aggregate OSC STARR-seq peak.
cell_type
Drosophila cell line condition represented by the row; OSC for every row.
chromosome
dm3 chromosome from the author-supplied peak-summit file.
summit_position
Author-supplied STARR-seq peak summit coordinate, copied without modification.
window_start_0based
Derived start of the paper's 401-bp summit-centered window, using summit_position minus 200 under a 0-based half-open convention.
window_end_0based_exclusive
Derived exclusive end of the 401-bp summit-centered window, using summit_position plus 201 under a 0-based half-open convention.
log2_enrichment_over_input
Author-supplied STARR_enrichment value; GEO describes this peak activity value as log2 enrichment over input.
peak_p_value
Aggregate peak P-value; blank because the OSC aggregate peak-summit file does not provide one.
s2_specific_class
TRUE when the row's chromosome/summit exactly matches the published S2-specific enhancer list; otherwise FALSE.
bg3_specific_class
TRUE when the row's chromosome/summit exactly matches the published BG3-specific enhancer list; otherwise FALSE.
osc_specific_class
TRUE when the row's chromosome/summit exactly matches the published OSC-specific enhancer list; otherwise FALSE.
broad_class
TRUE when the row's OSC summit is within less than 500 bp of a published S2-centered Broad enhancer summit; this is a transparent nearest-summit cross-cell join and is not a one-to-one remapping.
broad_s2_summit
Nearest published Broad enhancer summit on the same chromosome when broad_class is TRUE; blank otherwise.
broad_s2_distance_bp
Absolute distance in bp from summit_position to broad_s2_summit; blank when broad_class is FALSE.
paper_enhancer_class
Published class label for the current OSC peak (OSC-specific or a nearby Broad region); blank for peaks outside the stringent class sets.
source_peak_file
Raw-data filename containing the aggregate peak row.
qc_pass
TRUE for rows retained after package-level structural QC.

Quality control

Retained the authors' final aggregate OSC STARR-seq peak calls after requiring a nonmissing dm3 chromosome, integer summit position, finite log2 enrichment, and unique chromosome/summit coordinates. No rows were removed: all 4,682 source peaks passed these structural checks. The paper's peak-calling pipeline supplied the source calls, while the two replicate peak-call files are preserved in raw_data and were not re-called. The table uses the paper's 401-bp summit-centered window and joins published class labels; no arbitrary enrichment cutoff was applied because the stringent class definitions also use peak P-values that are not present in the aggregate OSC file.

Curation notes

The aggregate OSC file contains 4,682 peaks and has no exact duplicate coordinates; all rows passed package QC. The OSC-specific class file contains 499 data rows (header excluded), although the manuscript describes selecting 500 enhancers. Broad.txt is centered on S2 peak summits; 484 OSC aggregate peaks fall within <500 bp of a published Broad summit, and the table records the nearest S2 summit and distance. The OSC map was originally generated in the earlier GSE40739 study and reused here; its two processed STARR-seq replicate peak-call files are included in raw_data.
