Selection and cloning of melanoma state specific regions.
(a) Cell state-specific regions were selected based on H3K27ac ChIP-seq signal from a panel of melanoma cell lines containing both mesenchymal-like (MES) (red bar) and melanocytic (MEL) lines (pure MEL: blue bar; intermediate MEL: purple bar). ATAC-seq data from the same lines were used to identify accessibility peaks within these regions. Finally, the regions were tiled with 190 bp tiles with a shift of 20 bp (sublibrary A). Sublibrary B was generated by shifting all tiles 10 bp downstream. Cluster-Buster (CBust) was used to identify transcription factor (TF) motifs, and new tiles were generated with mutated motifs. (b) Reporter vector configurations used for the evaluation of the H3K27ac enhancers (left panel), the ATAC-seq enhancers (top-right panel), and the enhancer tiling (bottom-right panel).

Selection pipeline and cell line profiles.
(a) Region selection flowchart. Top differentially acetylated regions for each subtype are used as input to i-cisTarget. The top three enriched motifs are selected and the list of genes associated with those motifs is used to filter the list of differentially expressed genes. Subtype-specific regions are manually selected by looking at the genome ~150 kb upstream and downstream of the remaining top differentially expressed genes. (b–d) Correlation tables displaying the Pearson’s correlation coefficient for H3K27ac ChIP-seq mean signal of the H3K27ac library regions (b), ATAC-seq mean signal of the same regions (c), and gene expression of the predicted region’s target genes from single-cell RNA-seq (d). (e–g) Same correlation tables as (b–d) but for the ATAC-based library regions. Red, purple, and blue bars indicate mesenchymal-like (MES), intermediate, and melanocytic (MEL) lines, respectively. (h) Mean transcript expression from single-cell RNA-seq data of each gene associated with an enhancer.
