Cell-type-specific episomal MPRA in human cortical organoid PAX6-negative/EOMES-negative (N) cells

Joint epigenome profiling reveals cell-type-specific gene regulatory programmes in human cortical organoids

A common 5,876-sequence episomal MPRA library was electroporated into day-45 human cortical organoids, cultured for 72 hours, and assayed after immunoFACS isolation of the PAX6-negative/EOMES-negative N population in two biological replicates. The table combines the published per-construct N activity statistics with normalized DNA/RNA barcode summaries calculated from the GEO processed count matrix.

Processed tables are specific to each experiment. Column names, units, measurements, and table structure are not standardized across the database. Check this experiment’s column definitions and quality-control notes before comparing or combining data.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

The library contained 2,737 differentially accessible regions linked to differentially expressed genes, 267 MER130/UCON31 transposable-element sequences, 2,372 motif-mutated enhancer sequences, and 500 scrambled controls. Inserts were 266-bp hg38 sequences with a 4-bp wild-type/control or mutant tag and 12-bp barcodes in a pMPRA1 mScarlet-I minimal-promoter reporter. The fixed, immunoFACS-sorted PAX6-negative/EOMES-negative DNA and RNA libraries were processed with MPRAflow. Package-derived ratio-of-sums metrics follow the paper's replicate-comparison code after retaining barcodes with nonzero counts in both DNA and RNA.

Quality control

The authors report recovery of more than 98% of the 5,876 library sequences. Supplementary Table 2 reports N replicate 1 DNA 9,512,315 total/9,098,841 mapped reads and RNA 24,225,140/21,908,634 mapped reads; replicate 2 DNA 19,868,211/18,771,185 and RNA 30,764,615/27,912,363. Reads were trimmed with cutadapt, barcode/CRE associations were generated by MPRAflow, and MPRAanalyse identified active enhancers using mad.score with Benjamini–Hochberg-adjusted p <= 0.1. The paper states that no data were excluded. Package QC retained all 5,661 Supplementary Table 5 rows because each had finite published statistic, MAD score, and MAD p-value in [0,1]; no rows were filtered. GEO processed count archives cover 4,942 of these rows; raw-derived columns are blank for published rows absent from the compact GEO matrix, with raw_count_status documenting coverage.

Curation notes

The paper calls this population PAX6−EOMES− (N); GEO labels its archive NEG and the analysis repository uses PN. It is a gate-defined population rather than an explicitly assigned pure terminal cell type, so the biosample is marked UNMAPPED rather than mapped to a broader neuron term. center_coordinate_hg38 is the source name coordinate, not an inferred interval. source_enhancer_class is the authors' Table 5 annotation. The processed table is condition-specific; cross-cell-type published scores are in the sibling experiments. Published result rows absent from the compact GEO matrix are retained with blank raw-derived fields, while the downloaded archive preserves the underlying available count data.
