K562 mSTARR-seq after dexamethasone stimulation

DNA methylation-environment interactions in the human genome

The captured GM12878 genomic mSTARR-seq library was treated with M.SssI or sham-treated, transfected into K562, and exposed to 1 µM dexamethasone 42 hours after transfection. The table contains model statistics for 250,569 study-QC-passed windows harvested 6 hours after stimulation.

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

1 µM dexamethasone for 6 h

mSTARR-seq is an epigenetically manipulated episomal STARR-seq assay: approximately 600-700 bp captured genomic fragments were cloned into the 3' transcribed region of pmSTARRseq1, enzymatically methylated with M.SssI or sham-treated, transfected into K562, and quantified by paired plasmid DNA and self-transcribed RNA sequencing. K562 cells received 1 µM dexamethasone 42 hours post-transfection and were harvested 6 hours later; six replicate RNA/DNA libraries were generated for each methylation condition.

Column dictionary · 26 definitions
element_id
Human-readable genomic interval identifier, formatted chromosome:start-end.
source_window_id
Original eLife supplemental-table window identifier, formatted chromosome_start_end.
chromosome
Reference chromosome or contig.
start_bp
0-based interval start inferred from the source window identifier.
end_bp
End-exclusive interval end inferred from the source window identifier.
window_length_bp
Interval length in base pairs; normally 600, with the terminal chrM interval reported as 369.
methylation_condition_p
P-value for the source model's methylation-condition coefficient.
methylation_condition_beta
Source model beta for the methylation-condition term.
methylation_condition_se
Standard error of the methylation-condition beta.
methylated_activity_p
P-value for RNA versus DNA activity in the methylated condition.
methylated_activity_beta
RNA-versus-DNA sample-type beta in the methylated condition; positive values indicate excess reporter RNA relative to input DNA.
methylated_activity_se
Standard error of the methylated-condition activity beta.
methylated_activity_fdr
Empirical FDR for methylated-condition activity; blank means the source did not report an FDR for that window.
unmethylated_activity_p
P-value for RNA versus DNA activity in the sham/unmethylated condition.
unmethylated_activity_beta
RNA-versus-DNA sample-type beta in the sham/unmethylated condition; positive values indicate excess reporter RNA relative to input DNA.
unmethylated_activity_se
Standard error of the unmethylated-condition activity beta.
unmethylated_activity_fdr
Empirical FDR for unmethylated-condition activity; blank means the source did not report an FDR for that window.
methylation_dependence_beta
RNA/DNA activity interaction beta comparing methylated with sham/unmethylated DNA; negative values indicate lower activity when methylated.
methylation_dependence_se
Standard error of the methylation-dependence interaction beta.
methylation_dependence_t
T statistic for the methylation-dependence interaction.
methylation_dependence_p
P-value for the methylation-dependence interaction.
methylation_dependence_fdr
Empirical FDR for methylation-dependent activity; blank means the source did not report an interaction FDR for that window.
methylated_activity_significant
yes when methylated_activity_beta is positive and methylated_activity_fdr < 0.01; otherwise no.
unmethylated_activity_significant
yes when unmethylated_activity_beta is positive and unmethylated_activity_fdr < 0.01; otherwise no.
methylation_dependence_significant
yes when at least one activity call is positive and methylation_dependence_fdr < 0.01; otherwise no.
methylation_dependence_direction
Sign of the estimated methylation-dependence beta irrespective of significance; not_tested when the source interaction beta is unavailable.

Quality control

Official study QC retained windows with nonzero DNA counts in at least 3 methylated and 3 sham DNA replicates, nonzero RNA counts in at least 3 replicates in either methylation condition, and high DNA replicate repeatability following Lea et al. 2018. For this dataset, 5,051,776 starting windows became 4,542,567 after the DNA filter, 294,380 after the RNA filter, and 250,569 after DNA repeatability filtering. The processed table retains all final source rows; activity calls require a positive RNA/DNA beta and FDR <0.01, and methylation-dependent calls additionally require interaction FDR <0.01.

Curation notes

The captured input library was made from GM12878 DNA and assayed after transfection into K562, so the biosample is K562 and the sequences are genomic windows rather than allele contrasts. The paper notes an unexpectedly high methylation estimate for dex sham bisulfite sample L31395, likely a bisulfite-library issue; the paired mSTARR RNA sample L31244 clustered with sham controls, so the published mSTARR result table was retained. The source includes one 369-bp terminal chrM interval (chrM:16200-16569); all other intervals are 600 bp, and the terminal interval was retained as a valid contig-end window. Source NA values are represented as blank cells in table.csv and indicate model terms not reported for windows without a positive RNA/DNA activity beta, not failed QC.
