STARR-seq Library Preparation
Self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing (STARR-seq) is a massively parallel reporter assay to identify transcriptional enhancers directly based on their activity in entire genomes for millions of candidates from arbitrary sources of DNA and to assess their activity quantitatively (Arnold et al., Science 2013). Enhancer activity is directly linked to the underlying DNA sequence and measured as presence of the resulting reporter transcripts among cellular RNA by deep sequencing. This protocol describes the preparation of STARR-seq libraries for the use in human cells.
