Experiment / E7YM5TJNMStandard STARR-seq

Promoterless ORI STARR-seq of HepG2 candidate liver enhancers

A systematic evaluation of the design and context dependencies of massively parallel reporter assays

The common 2,440-element library was tested in the ORI promoterless STARR-seq design, with enhancer sequences and adjacent barcodes in the reporter 3' UTR. The episomal library was transfected into HepG2 cells in three independent replicate cultures.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

Promoterless STARR-seq design using the bacterial origin of replication for transcriptional initiation; candidate enhancer and adjacent 15-bp barcode were placed in the reporter 3' UTR and quantified by matched DNA/RNA sequencing.

Column dictionary · 20 definitions
element_id
Published identifier for the tested 171-bp enhancer or control element.
element_type
Source element class: test, pos control, or neg control.
chromosome
Human hg19 chromosome for the source element; blank for synthetic controls without a genomic coordinate.
start
1-based hg19 start coordinate of the 171-bp source element; blank when unavailable.
end
1-based hg19 end coordinate of the 171-bp source element; blank when unavailable.
sequence
The 171-bp DNA sequence tested in the assay.
sequence_length_bp
Length of sequence in base pairs.
activity_mean_log2_rna_dna
Authors' activity score: mean log2 RNA/DNA after per-replicate median normalization; the source excludes the low-quality replicate 1 for 5'/3' MT and 3'/3' MT.
replicate_1_normalized_rna_cpm
Normalized RNA barcode count for replicate 1, reported as counts per million in the authors' pipeline.
replicate_1_normalized_dna_cpm
Normalized DNA barcode count for replicate 1, reported as counts per million in the authors' pipeline.
replicate_1_log2_rna_dna_ratio
Raw per-replicate log2(RNA/DNA) activity value for replicate 1, before the across-replicate median normalization used for the published mean.
replicate_1_unique_barcodes
Number of unique barcodes assigned to the element in replicate 1.
replicate_2_normalized_rna_cpm
Normalized RNA barcode count for replicate 2, reported as counts per million in the authors' pipeline.
replicate_2_normalized_dna_cpm
Normalized DNA barcode count for replicate 2, reported as counts per million in the authors' pipeline.
replicate_2_log2_rna_dna_ratio
Raw per-replicate log2(RNA/DNA) activity value for replicate 2, before the across-replicate median normalization used for the published mean.
replicate_2_unique_barcodes
Number of unique barcodes assigned to the element in replicate 2.
replicate_3_normalized_rna_cpm
Normalized RNA barcode count for replicate 3, reported as counts per million in the authors' pipeline.
replicate_3_normalized_dna_cpm
Normalized DNA barcode count for replicate 3, reported as counts per million in the authors' pipeline.
replicate_3_log2_rna_dna_ratio
Raw per-replicate log2(RNA/DNA) activity value for replicate 3, before the across-replicate median normalization used for the published mean.
replicate_3_unique_barcodes
Number of unique barcodes assigned to the element in replicate 3.

Quality control

Author QC was retained: barcode-to-element associations required at least three independent observations and at least 90% of barcode sequence mapped to one element; only barcodes observed in both the DNA and RNA sample were counted; UMI-collapsed counts were normalized to counts per million; and replicate RNA/DNA ratios were median-normalized before averaging. Package QC retained only rows with a valid A/C/G/T 171-bp sequence, finite published mean and replicate activity values, and finite source RNA, DNA, and unique-barcode fields for all three replicates. 2426 rows passed from 2429 source mean-score rows; 3 incomplete/missing rows were excluded. No extra minimum-barcode cutoff was imposed because the paper uses its measured element set for assay comparisons; observed barcode counts remain in the table.

Curation notes

The ORI assay-specific source sheet contains the count/activity fields used here. The table retains 2426 complete elements from the 2429 rows in the authors' all-assay mean table; 3 rows with missing or incomplete assay-specific source fields were omitted because the normalized count/activity record could not be represented completely.
