STARR-seq allelic screen in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells
Chromatin Conformation Links Distal Target Genes to CKD LociA combined library of approximately 1,200-bp DNase-hypersensitive candidate regulatory fragments cloned from 20 donors around the rs11959928 locus was electroporated into primary human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HRPTECs). Two library-input replicates and two transcribed-RNA replicates were used to compare reference-allele prevalence.

Perturbation & assay details
Basal / Untreated
Episomal STARR-seq using the pSTARR-seq_human reporter vector (Addgene plasmid 71509). Approximately 1,200-bp PCR-amplified DRE fragments containing variants with minor allele frequency >0.03 were equimolarly pooled; the library complexity was estimated at 50,000 clones. HRPTECs were electroporated with the library, cultured for 24 hours, and polyadenylated reporter RNA was sequenced alongside library input on an Illumina NextSeq500 as 75-bp single-end reads. Supplemental Table 2 provides allele-prevalence percentages rather than raw read counts or barcode-level activity scores.

Column dictionary · 15 definitions
- variant_id
- Reported chr5 hg19 coordinate used as the stable variant label because the paper does not provide a separate ID for each position.
- locus_id
- The vertically merged SNP-ID label in Supplemental Table 2 identifying the assayed rs11959928 locus.
- chromosome
- Chromosome reported in Supplemental Table 2.
- position_hg19
- 1-based hg19/GRCh37 coordinate reported in Supplemental Table 2.
- input_reference_allele_pct_rep1
- Percentage of library-input molecules carrying the reference allele in input replicate 1.
- input_reference_allele_pct_rep2
- Percentage of library-input molecules carrying the reference allele in input replicate 2.
- rna_reference_allele_pct_rep1
- Percentage of transcribed reporter RNA molecules carrying the reference allele in HRPTEC replicate 1.
- rna_reference_allele_pct_rep2
- Percentage of transcribed reporter RNA molecules carrying the reference allele in HRPTEC replicate 2.
- delta_reference_allele_pct_rep1
- Published delta for HRPTEC replicate 1, calculated as transcribed-RNA reference-allele prevalence minus input prevalence, in percentage points.
- delta_reference_allele_pct_rep2
- Published delta for HRPTEC replicate 2, calculated as transcribed-RNA reference-allele prevalence minus input prevalence, in percentage points.
- input_reference_allele_pct_mean
- Arithmetic mean of the two input reference-allele prevalence percentages.
- rna_reference_allele_pct_mean
- Arithmetic mean of the two HRPTEC transcribed-RNA reference-allele prevalence percentages.
- delta_reference_allele_pct_mean
- Arithmetic mean of the two published HRPTEC delta values; positive values indicate relative enrichment of the reference allele in RNA versus input.
- qc_pass
- TRUE for rows retained after package completeness and numeric-range QC.
- source_table
- Source table in the publisher-supplied supplement used to create the row.
Quality control
The authors verified library complexity by dilution series but did not report count-level STARR-seq filtering thresholds. Package QC retained rows only when all six published percentage measurements (two input prevalences, two RNA prevalences, and two delta values) were present, input/RNA prevalences were in [0, 100], and delta values were in [-100, 100]. All 40 of 40 HRPTEC rows pass.
Curation notes
HRPTECs were primary cells from a healthy-donor cell biobank and were used at passage 3; donor metadata and a cell-culture accession are not provided. The article reports a combined 20-donor library and no treatment condition. Supplemental Table 2 names the locus but not the nucleotide alleles or individual variant rsIDs, so this package preserves the source coordinates without inferring alleles or additional identifiers. The published readout is allele prevalence in input versus transcribed RNA, not an activity log2 fold-change. The same input percentages are reproduced across the three cell-type sections of the source table.
