Genomic DNA (source: https://stockcenter.ucsd.edu) was isolated for all Drosophila species listed above, sheared and size selected (~500bp). Following the instructions of NEBNext® DNA Library Prep Reagent Set for Illumina® (NEB; cat. no. E6000L), Illumina Multiplexing Adapters (Illumina Inc; cat. no. PE-400-1001) were ligated and homology arms for In-Fusion® recombination were added by PCR, followed by recombination into the STARR-seq vector (pGL3-Promotor backbone (Promega; cat. no. E1751) with the sequence between BglII and FseI replaced with the following sequence, containing a Drosophila Synthetic Core Promoter (DSCP) (1), an ORF (sgGFP, Qbiogene, Inc), a ccdB suicide gene flanked by homology arms (used for cloning the genomic enhancer candidates during library generation), and the pGL3’s SV40 late polyA-signal.). The In-Fusion® reactions were transformed (MegaX DH10B; Invitrogen), grown in liquid culture and plasmids were isolated. See also Arnold et al. Science 2013. STARR-Seq (Arnold et al. Science 2013)
