Experiment / E9ARCSVKEWhole-Genome STARR-seq (WHG-STARR-seq)

Whole-genome STARR-seq enhancer screen in ST cells

Genome-wide identification of functional enhancers and their potential roles in pig breeding

A sheared pig genomic DNA STARR-seq library was transfected into the porcine testicular ST cell line in two biological replicates. cDNA/output and input-plasmid libraries were sequenced, and significant 600-bp enhancer windows were called with BasicSTARRseq.

Perturbation & assay details

BX-795 0.5 µM + C16 0.5 µM during plasmid transfection

Episomal self-transcribing reporter assay using a modified pGL3-basic vector: the SCP1 promoter was placed upstream of a GFP reporter with a synthetic intron, and randomly sheared 500–800-bp pig genomic fragments were cloned into the reporter. The library was transfected with TurboFect, and poly(A)+ RNA-derived cDNA and input plasmid DNA were sequenced on Illumina HiSeq X Ten. Two biological replicates were generated for this cell line; the supplied calls are 600-bp windows.

Column dictionary · 17 definitions
call_id
Unique packaged call identifier formed from the enhancer locus and biological replicate.
enhancer_id
Coordinate-based locus identifier; the same locus can occur in both biological replicates.
cell_line
Porcine cell line used for the STARR-seq assay.
chromosome
Chromosome or scaffold name from the Sscrofa11.1 supplementary table.
start
Start coordinate of the reported STARR-seq window, preserved from Supplementary Table S4.
end
End coordinate of the reported STARR-seq window, preserved from Supplementary Table S4.
strand
Reported strand field; * indicates unstranded.
length_bp
Window length in base pairs (end - start + 1; reported source value is 600 for these calls).
replicate
Biological replicate number (1 or 2).
cdna_coverage
BasicSTARRseq SampleCov value, treated as STARR-seq cDNA/output coverage.
input_plasmid_coverage
BasicSTARRseq ControlCov value, treated as input-plasmid/control coverage.
enrichment
BasicSTARRseq enrichment statistic reported for the cDNA/output relative to input/control.
p_value
BasicSTARRseq binomial-test p-value reported by the authors.
fdr
Benjamini-Hochberg false-discovery rate reported by the authors.
source_sheet
Worksheet name in the packaged Supplementary Table S4 workbook.
source_row
1-based Excel row number in the source worksheet.
qc_pass
TRUE because the row passed the package QC thresholds and interval validation.

Quality control

The authors trimmed reads with Trimmomatic v0.39 (TruSeq2-PE.fa:2:30:10, LEADING:3, TRAILING:3, SLIDINGWINDOW:4:15, MINLEN:36), aligned reads with Bowtie2 v2.3.5.1 (--no-discordant -X 2000), retained paired uniquely mapped reads with SAMtools v1.3.1 (view -bS -f 2 -q 5), removed PCR duplicates with Picard, and assessed replicate reproducibility using Pearson correlation in deepTools. BasicSTARRseq calls supplied in the source worksheet were required to have enrichment >1.0, p-value <0.001, and FDR <0.1. Package QC additionally required valid numeric coordinates, a positive interval length matching the reported length, and all three call thresholds; rows failing these checks were excluded. Exact duplicate coordinates within a replicate were collapsed to the most statistically significant source record. ST cells were treated with 0.5 µM each of BX-795 and C16 during transfection. The source workbook contains 3,798 calls for replicate 1 and 3,494 unique-coordinate calls for replicate 2 after the stated call thresholds; the source worksheet had one exact duplicate coordinate, retained once using the lowest source p-value.

Curation notes

This experiment uses a common whole-genome library made from 500–800-bp genomic DNA fragments from one Diannan small-ear pig, cloned into a modified pGL3-basic backbone with the SCP1 promoter and a GFP reporter containing a synthetic intron. The processed table preserves replicate-level BasicSTARRseq 600-bp window calls from Supplementary Table S4 rather than replacing them with the paper’s merged 2,576-locus summary. Coordinates are preserved as reported by the supplement; the paper does not state a coordinate-system convention in the table. `cdna_coverage` and `input_plasmid_coverage` follow the source SampleCov/ControlCov labels and are interpreted as cDNA/output and input-plasmid/control coverage. No allelic or variant contrast is present in this library. Package QC retained 7292 rows across the two replicates. Per-sheet retained counts: {'ST cells replicate 1': 3798, 'ST cells replicate 2': 3494}. Rows excluded for malformed values or threshold failure: {'ST cells replicate 1': 0, 'ST cells replicate 2': 0}. Exact-coordinate duplicate collapses: [{'sheet': 'ST cells replicate 2', 'replicate': 2, 'coordinate': 'chr12:59522334-59522933', 'kept_source_row': '1722', 'dropped_source_row': '1723'}].
