STARR-seq enhancer activity determined following hydrodynamic delivery of STARR-seq plasmid library to mouse liver using three different STARR-seq promoters: Super Core promoter, ORI promoter, and minimal Albumin promoter [G173]

ABSTRACT: Massively parallel reporter assays (MPRA) are widely used to discover functional enhancers but have largely been limited to transfected cell models. Here, we combine hydrodynamic injection with a modified STARR-seq-based MPRA to determine condition-specific enhancer activity in mouse liver at scale, and we examine how different promoters affect STARR-seq reporter activity. Strong liver enhancer activity was observed with STARR-seq libraries containing an Albumin minimal promoter but not when using a Super Core promoter or an origin of replication (ORI) promoter. This work is part of a larger study where we prepare a global STARR-seq library, comprised of ~50,000 genomic sequences released by DNase-I digestion of mouse liver nuclei, and where we identify condition-specific enhancers with strong correlations between liver enhancer activity and the chromatin state of the corresponding endogenous genomic regions.
