SuRE-seq caQTL and chromatin-module enhancer fragments in GM12878

Context transcription factors establish cooperative environments and mediate enhancer communication

A 270-bp allele-aware library of caQTL lead and linked neighbor/dependent enhancer fragments was assayed for autonomous promoter activity in GM12878 using the SuRE barcoded plasmid assay. The table reports QC-filtered element/genotype groups with sequence, variant annotation, count-derived activity, and zero-RNA fractions.

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

Basal / Untreated

SuRE-seq (Survey of Regulatory Elements) uses 270-bp genomic fragments cloned into an episomal promoterless barcoded reporter; barcode RNA is quantified relative to plasmid DNA. It tests more/less accessible caQTL genotypes plus linked LOCAL/CM neighbor or dependent elements; forward and reverse fragment orientations were combined.

Quality control

Applied the paper’s filters: retained barcode-to-element mappings with iPCR.Reads >=2; removed barcodes mapping to >1 SuRE element (including multi-element labels); required combined plasmid DNA count >0; retained elements with >=4 unique barcodes. Kept genotype calls separately. The current Zenodo record exposes raw SuRE counts but not the author’s missing processed count file, so activity columns are generated as log2(sum cDNA/sum plasmid) plus positive-cDNA mean log2 ratios and zero-cDNA fractions; zero-RNA observations are retained rather than silently discarded.

Curation notes

SuRE raw rows sometimes contain the same barcode/element with different VCF_Call values; these calls are preserved as separate output rows. 3,468 elements passed the >=4-barcode filter, yielding 10,018 element/genotype rows. rs_id is absent for linked dependent fragments where the source annotation is blank.
