Atlantic salmon liver ATAC-STARR-seq MPRA

The role of transposon activity in shaping cis-regulatory element evolution after whole-genome duplication

Accessible chromatin fragments isolated from Atlantic salmon liver were cloned into a pSTARR-seq reporter carrying the Atlantic salmon EF1α core promoter and transfected into primary salmon hepatocytes. Poly(A)+ cDNA RNA abundance 24 hours after transfection was contrasted with input plasmid DNA by DESeq2 after splitting fragments into length bins.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated (no experimental treatment; reporter transfection)

Episomal pSTARR-seq construct with the Atlantic salmon EF1α core promoter (NC_027326.1:7785458-7785702); Omni-ATAC fragments were size-selected at approximately 30-280 bp and inserted upstream of the reporter transcript. Five input plasmid library and five plasmid-cDNA sequencing runs are listed under ENA project PRJEB81135. The paper reports 4,267,201 mapped unique fragments before package QC and uses the RNA/cDNA-versus-DNA input log2 fold change as regulatory activity.

Column dictionary · 13 definitions
fragment_id
Original mapped fragment identifier from the authors' RDS, formatted as chromosome number:start-end.
chrom
RefSeq chromosome contig corresponding to the source chromosome number (NC_027300.1 through NC_027328.1).
start
Fragment start coordinate from the mapped source identifier; 0-based BED-style coordinate.
end
Fragment end coordinate from the mapped source identifier; half-open BED-style end coordinate.
fragment_length
Fragment length calculated as end minus start.
length_bin
DESeq2 fragment-length interval used as the analysis stratum.
base_mean
DESeq2 mean of normalized counts across the DNA-input and RNA/cDNA assay samples.
log2_rna_dna
DESeq2 log2 fold change for RNA/cDNA abundance relative to DNA input plasmid abundance.
lfc_se
DESeq2 standard error of log2_rna_dna.
wald_stat
DESeq2 Wald statistic for the RNA/cDNA-versus-DNA contrast.
p_value
DESeq2 Wald-test p-value for the RNA/cDNA-versus-DNA contrast.
padj
Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted p-value from DESeq2.
regulatory_class
Paper-style activity class: up when padj ≤ 0.1 and log2_rna_dna > 0, down when padj ≤ 0.1 and log2_rna_dna < 0, otherwise noeffect.

Quality control

The authors checked reporter-library complexity and the fraction of cloned fragments mapping within open chromatin, counted mapped unique fragment locations, and applied DESeq2 with independent filtering separately within fragment-length bins. For this package, rows were retained only when baseMean met the per-bin DESeq2 independent-filter threshold and baseMean, log2FoldChange, lfcSE, stat, pvalue, and padj were finite. This retained 3,590,323 of 4,267,201 source fragments; 676,878 rows with missing padj were removed. Regulatory significance was not used as a QC filter, so up-, down-, and no-effect fragments are all retained.

Curation notes

This is one ATAC-STARR-seq MPRA experiment, not an allele-contrast MPRA: the assayed library consists of native accessible liver DNA fragments. The packaged table is the authors' fragment-level DESeq2 result, not barcode-level counts or raw reads. The original RDS and liver narrowPeak source are retained in raw_data; the large Zenodo archive's unrelated TE/evolutionary inputs and all ENA FASTQ files are omitted. Atlantic salmon is Salmo salar (NCBI Taxonomy 8030); primary hepatocyte is mapped to Cell Ontology CL:0000182.
