Allelic variant lentiMPRA in human cortical organoid slices

Massively parallel characterization of regulatory elements in the developing human cortex

The 270-bp brain QTL and psychiatric-disorder-associated variant library was tested with reference and alternative alleles in approximately 10-week human cortical organoid slices. The table retains allele-specific RNA/DNA activity, limma statistics, and the supplied regulatory annotations.

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; approximately 10-week human cortical organoid slices

The variant library used 270-bp inserts centered on each variant, a 31-bp minimal promoter, and a 15-bp random barcode in a lentiviral reporter integrated into organoid cells. Reference and alternative allele activities are CPM-normalized RNA/DNA ratios; the source supplies the alternative/reference ratio and limma allelic-effect statistics for the organoid condition.

Quality control

The supplemental methods required merged reads with a 270M CIGAR, base quality >=30, barcode Shannon entropy >0.5, barcode observation >=3 times with >=90% assignment to the same insert, >=10 unique barcodes per insert, and >=40 total DNA barcodes. DNA/RNA counts were CPM-normalized; variant activity was computed from alternative and reference RNA/DNA ratios, and allelic effects were tested with limma including batch terms. Data S2 contains 15,495 organoid variant rows; 14,431 rows with finite alternative/reference activity and limma statistics were retained, while 1,064 rows missing one or more required numeric values were excluded. The processed reported_da flags use adjusted P <0.01 or <0.10 and absolute limma logFC >0.5.

Curation notes

This is the matched organoid allelic experiment and contains the QC-passed variant reporter results, not the upstream GWAS/QTL candidate list. The biosample is represented at the cerebral-cortex tissue level because the organoid is a mixed cortical model. Source rows lacking finite allele activities or limma statistics were excluded. The reported_da flags apply the same reproducible logFC/FDR rule as the primary experiment; they are derived for the supplied organoid statistics.
