Summary

We present a cheap, rapid, and versatile assay called SOSHI-seq (Screening of Self-transcribed Hormone Inducible response elements coupled to sequencing).

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

SOSHI-seq is a sequencing-based functional assay for testing whether putative DNA response elements can act as hormone-response elements. The abstract states that it can assay thousands of synthetic DNA sequences.; high-throughput functional testing of putative nuclear hormone receptor response elements; testing thousands of synthetic DNA sequences for hormone-response element activity; complementing ChIP-Seq analysis to identify functional occupied response elements at genome-wide scale

Published Workflows

Objective: Develop and apply a high-throughput sequencing-based assay to functionally test putative nuclear hormone receptor response elements and complement ChIP-Seq-based occupancy analysis.

Why it works: The abstract states that SOSHI-seq adapts STARR-seq to test thousands of synthetic DNA sequences for hormone-response element activity, enabling functional readout that complements chromatin occupancy information from ChIP-Seq.

Stages

  1. 1.
    Synthetic response-element library testing(broad_screen)

    This stage provides high-throughput functional testing across many candidate synthetic sequences.

    Selection: capacity of thousands of synthetic DNA sequences to act as hormone-response elements

  2. 2.
    Comparison with ChIP-Seq occupancy analysis(confirmatory_validation)

    The abstract states SOSHI-seq is a suitable complement to ChIP-Seq analysis, indicating a downstream interpretive stage that combines functional assay output with chromatin occupancy information.

    Selection: identify functional response elements occupied by nuclear receptors in chromatin

The assay requires synthetic DNA sequences and sequencing readout. The abstract also states that the protocol is adapted from STARR-seq.; requires synthetic DNA sequence libraries; requires sequencing-based readout; is described as an adaptation of STARR-seq

The abstract does not show that SOSHI-seq alone measures chromatin occupancy in native chromatin. Instead, it is presented as complementary to ChIP-Seq.; demonstration in the abstract is specifically described using thyroid hormone nuclear receptors as the example
