Modified STARR-seq allelic enhancer screen in HEK-293T cells
Analysis of biased allelic enhancer activity of schizophrenia-linked common variantsThe shared synthetic oligonucleotide library of schizophrenia-linked candidate variants was transfected into human HEK-293T cells. Reference and alternative 200-bp allele fragments were tested in three SNP-centered contexts, with plasmid DNA input and RNA output quantified across three replicates.

Perturbation & assay details
Basal / Untreated
Episomal modified STARR-seq using the hSTARR-seq_ORI vector (Addgene 99296). Each selected variant was represented by reference and alternative 200-bp oligonucleotides with the variant at -50, 0, or +50 bp from the sequence center; 15-bp cloning adapters were added. Plasmid-library DNA input and polyadenylated RNA output were sequenced as paired-end 150-bp libraries with three DNA and three HEK-293T RNA replicates. The published analysis used DADA2, limma-voom, and mpralm; this package retains allele/context-level counts and published eSNP and baaSNP statistics.

Quality control
The authors report read quality filtering and trimming, DADA2 ASV inference, paired-end merging, chimera removal, low-expression filtering, residual-log-expression normalization, hierarchical clustering, and D-statistic outlier assessment. Their enhancer calls used limma-voom with FDR <0.05 and |log2FC| >0.585; allelic effects used mpralm. For this package, the GEO-supplied filtered count table was additionally filtered at the fragment level: for each allele, counts had to exceed 0.1 TPM in >20% of the six available DNA/RNA replicate columns and in at least one DNA and one RNA replicate; both alleles had to pass. The 602 retained rows in table.csv pass this paired-allele QC; 353 of 955 GEO rows were excluded. The study reported no positive or negative control sequences.
Curation notes
The GEO supplementary table is a processed allele/context count table rather than raw FASTQ and is preserved in raw_data. The source count columns use allele1/allele2 names but do not contain nucleotide symbols; allele bases are taken from Supplementary Data 3 when present and otherwise from Supplementary Data 1, with allele_label_source exposing provenance. Supplementary Data 1 contains occasional reverse A1/A2 reports. Two GEO-only indel IDs (rs112345465 and rs34196118) occur in the count source but not Supplementary Data 1-3; they are retained only if paired QC passes, with coordinates and allele strings resolved from Ensembl and published result fields left blank. No positive/negative controls were included in the library.
