HTT-locus BAC STARR-seq in BE(2)-C cells

Genome-wide strand asymmetry in massively parallel reporter activity favors genic strands

A pooled library of sheared BAC fragments spanning the HTT locus was assayed in human BE(2)-C neuroblastoma cells using an episomal STARR-seq reporter. Plasmid DNA input and reporter-derived RNA were sequenced in three replicate transfections while retaining fragment orientation relative to the GRCh38 reference.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

Episomal STARR-seq using 100–500-bp BAC-derived genomic fragments, with a 250–350-bp size-selected library cloned downstream of the super-core promoter in pSTARR-seq_human (Addgene 71509). Three replicate transfections of 40 million BE(2)-C cells with 133 micrograms of pooled reporter plasmid were harvested after 48 hours using FuGENE; paired-end NextSeq reads from plasmid DNA and poly(A)+ reporter RNA were mapped with strand orientation retained. The source GEO signal columns are read-depth-normalized RNA/DNA reporter activities.

complement_signal_rep2
Author-supplied normalized RNA/DNA reporter activity for Complement-strand fragments in replicate 2.
complement_signal_rep3
Author-supplied normalized RNA/DNA reporter activity for Complement-strand fragments in replicate 3.

rmc_rep1
Reference signal minus Complement signal for replicate 1.
rmc_rep2
Reference signal minus Complement signal for replicate 2.
rmc_rep3
Reference signal minus Complement signal for replicate 3.
rmc_mean
RMC calculated as mean Reference signal minus mean Complement signal, matching the paper's definition.
rmc_sd
Sample standard deviation of the three replicate-specific RMC values.
mean_strand_signal
Mean of the Reference and Complement signal means; a strand-averaged reporter activity measure.
abs_rmc
Absolute value of rmc_mean.
qc_pass
TRUE for rows retained after the GEO source QC flag and finite-value filter.

Quality control

The authors aligned paired-end reads to locus-specific references with Bowtie 2, parsed fragment coordinates and orientation with SAMtools and a custom Perl script, counted Reference and Complement overlaps in 290-bp bins, normalized DNA and RNA counts, and calculated RMC. This package retained only rows with the GEO all_cell_reps_good_data_flag set to TRUE and finite numeric values in all six BE(2)-C strand-signal replicates: 4,278 of 4,829 source bins. No additional arbitrary activity threshold was applied.

Curation notes

The table is a cleaned projection of the author-deposited GSE156857 HTT-locus binned signal table; signal columns are normalized reporter activities rather than raw counts. Coordinates and the source '*' strand field are preserved. The paper text says 14 HTT BACs, whereas Supplemental Table 1 and GEO sample annotations enumerate 13 BAC IDs; the deposited table is used here. The study also reanalyzed external Johnson et al. whole-genome STARR-seq and Van Arensbergen et al. SuRE data, which are linked at the parent level but not duplicated in this compact study package.
