About this study
We present a cheap, rapid, and versatile assay called SOSHI-seq (Screening of Self-transcribed Hormone Inducible response elements coupled to sequencing). The protocol is an adaptation of the STARR-seq method, which allows testing the capacity of thousands of synthetic DNA sequences to act as hormone-response elements. Using the nuclear receptors of thyroid hormone as an example, we show that SOSHI-seq is a suitable complement to ChIP-Seq analysis to identify at genome-wide scale the functional response elements occupied by nuclear receptors in chromatin.

Experiments 3
E3U2Y6SWF
The GEO series includes a Bank 2 LXRα no-ligand/T-compound reporter pair using the Library 2 oligo pool. This exploratory table reports count-normalized T-compound fold changes for the available pair; the publication and supplementary tables do not provide a DESeq2 analysis for these samples.
E4LBT2EFG
A second pool of approximately 1,000 shorter mouse genomic fragments selected around TR-associated DR4-containing regions was cloned into the same episomal STARR-seq reporter and tested in HEK293 cells. RUN66 measured TRα1 and TRβ1 responses, while RUN42 supplied an independent TRβ1 ± T3 batch.
E5PZT0MPF
A pool of approximately 1,000 mouse genomic TRα1 binding-site fragments was cloned into the transcribed region of an episomal pSTARRseq-ori reporter and tested in HEK293 cells. Two independent batches (RUN25 and RUN66) were assayed with TRα1/RXRα or TRβ1/RXRα expression, with and without 10 nM T3.
