Experiment / E2C36R2YLEpisomal Plasmid MPRA

Round 4b margin-sampled MPRA

Active learning of enhancer and silencer regulatory grammar in photoreceptors

Two episomal MPRA sublibraries tested margin-uncertainty-selected sequences enriched for the silencer-versus-enhancer decision boundary, together with high-probability controls and repeats from Round 4a. Constructs were assayed in P0 CD-1 mouse retinal explants using the Rho basal promoter reporter.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

Oligo-synthesized 164-bp test sequences with unique 9-bp cis-regulatory barcodes were cloned upstream of the rod-specific Rhodopsin (Rho) basal promoter driving DsRed in episomal pJK03-derived reporter plasmids. P0 CD-1 mouse retinas were electroporated, five retinas were pooled per biological replicate, and tissue was cultured for eight days; barcode RNA/cDNA counts were normalized to input plasmid DNA and basal or scrambled pseudobasal controls as specified by the authors.

lognormal_mu
Author fitted log-normal location parameter for replicate activity values.
lognormal_sigma
Author fitted log-normal scale parameter for replicate activity values.

Quality control

Author QC required exact cBC/mBC context matches, at least 50 input-plasmid DNA counts per barcode, and RNA barcode coefficient of variation no greater than 0.8 across cDNA samples; counts were depth-normalized, RNA was normalized to plasmid DNA, barcodes were averaged to CRE activity, and activity was basal-normalized (or scrambled-pseudobasal-normalized when basal recovery was poor). The author-published summary retained only sequence measurements with more than one RNA replicate. Package QC additionally required unique element IDs, 164-bp A/C/G/T-only sequences, finite author activity statistics, at least one matching raw DNA count, and at least two nonzero raw RNA replicate totals. Retained 11945 of 12418 source rows; removed 473 rows: insufficient_raw_rna_counts=473.

Curation notes

Libraries9a–9b contain margin-sampled sequences, repeats of library8 elements, and known controls. These categories are retained together because they were measured in the same Round 4b library preparation and are explicitly annotated in the table.
