A preprint of this work can be found here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.08.23.609412v1

Specifically, the data provided here are:

1) replicateinfo.txt contains metadata for each mSTARR-seq replicate, including replicate number, pool number, sample type (DNA vs RNA) and methylation status

2) rnadnacounts_400bpwin.txt contains a count matrix with the number of DNA and RNA reads falling within each 400 bp genomic window for each replicate. Columns are replicate names, rows are genomic windows.

3) Joint_genotyping.vcf contains results from joint genotyping analysis using DNA sequences generated in the current study from 25 individuals accessed through the 1000 Genomes Project.

4) ASE_data.zip contains

ASE_totalcounts.txt: counts matrix of the total number of DNA and RNA reads in each replicate for each variant

ASE_refcounts.txt: counts matrix of the number of DNA and RNA reads for the reference allele in each replicate for each variant

ASE_mashr_inputsites.txt: sites that were tested for methylation-dependent allele-specific expression using mashr

WASP_ASE_sites.txt: variant sites that were retained after using the WASP mappability pipeline (Van De Geijn et al. 2015)

5) model_results.zip contains 

model1_methonly_results.txt: results from linear modeling to identify windows with regulatory function in the methylated condition

model1_unmethonly_results.txt: results from linear modeling to identify windows with regulatory function in the methylated condition

model2_mashr_results.txt: results from mashr analysis to identify windows with methylation-dependent regulatory function

ASE_meth_results.txt: results from allele specific expression analysis to identify ASE in the methylated condition

ASE_unmeth_results.txt: results from allele specific expression analysis to identify ASE in the unmethylated condition

ASE_mashr_results.txt: results from mashr analysis to identify sites with methylation-dependent ASE

6) Comparison_datasets.zip contains

Johnston_eLife_mSTARR_counts_K562.txt: counts matrix from Johnston et al. 2024, adapted to use 200 bp windows. Original dataset can be found here: https://zenodo.org/records/7949036#.ZGZ5UnbMJq9

Lea_eLife_mSTARR_counts.txt: counts matrix from Lea et al. 2018
