Experiment / E8UOHXGWLEpisomal Plasmid MPRA

Round 1 genomic CRX-targeted MPRA

Active learning of enhancer and silencer regulatory grammar in photoreceptors

Two Rho-promoter episomal MPRA libraries measured genomic CRX-bound/accessibility-associated 164-bp sequences and matched CRX-motif-mutant controls in P0 CD-1 mouse retinal explants. These libraries provide the genomic starting data for the later active-learning rounds.

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

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.

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 9662 of 9666 source rows; removed 4 rows: insufficient_raw_rna_counts=4.

Curation notes

The Rho-promoter subset of the Round 1 data is represented in the processed table. GSE165812 also contains Polylinker count files from the originating study; those control runs are retained in raw_data but are not mixed into this Rho-normalized table. The initial genomic sequences and matched CRX-mutant controls are not allele-frequency or GWAS measurements.
