Experiment / E4N7T24NTWhole-Genome STARR-seq (WHG-STARR-seq)

Whole-genome STARR-seq in A549, 1 h dexamethasone

Human genome-wide measurement of drug-responsive regulatory activity

The GM12878-derived whole-genome STARR-seq plasmid library was transfected into A549 cells and assayed after 100 nM dexamethasone exposure for 1 h across five biological replicate plates. The table contains published induced and repressed dex-responsive elements (DREs) passing the paper's FDR threshold.

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

100 nM dexamethasone for 1 h

An episomal whole-genome STARR-seq library was built by shearing GM12878 genomic DNA to approximately 350–450 bp and cloning fragments into the 3′ UTR of a reporter plasmid. A549 cells were transfected on 500 cm² plates; five plates were harvested per time point after vehicle or 100 nM dexamethasone exposure. Twelve plasmid-input DNA libraries and 25 output RNA libraries were sequenced on Illumina HiSeq 4000. Bowtie2 aligned paired reads to hg38; MACS2 with NCIS scaling called active regions, and edgeR modeled differential activity relative to 0 h.

Quality control

The authors retained properly paired Bowtie2 alignments with MAPQ ≥30 outside hg38 centromeres, gaps, and blacklist regions; called regions with MACS2 at q ≤0.10 using NCIS-derived scaling; merged overlapping calls into union sets; and tested differential activity with negative-binomial edgeR quasi-likelihood F-tests. Package QC retained 299 unique valid 1 h DRE intervals from Supplementary Data 1 only when the published p-value and FDR were finite, within [0,1], and FDR ≤0.05; duplicate or malformed intervals were excluded. Both induced and repressed rows are retained.

Curation notes

The library DNA came from GM12878, while the reporter assay was performed in A549; biosample_id therefore resolves the assayed cell line to A-549 (Cellosaurus CVCL:0023). Supplementary Data 1 reports significant DREs rather than a complete union-region count matrix, so this table is a compact result table of 1 h DREs (299 rows), not all active regions. The approximately 26 GB raw GEO archive and very large per-replicate bigWig tracks were omitted; compact peak sets, GEO metadata, and published DRE results are retained.
