Experiment / E0DHJKB2UEpisomal Plasmid MPRA

Rho promoter CRX-targeted MPRA in mouse retinal explants

Information content differentiates enhancers from silencers in mouse photoreceptors

Two 2,422-element libraries of 164-bp mouse genomic sequences, CRX-site mutants, shape mutants, and scrambled controls were cloned upstream of the basal rod photoreceptor Rhodopsin (Rho) promoter and DsRed. Each library was electroporated into explanted P0 CD-1 mouse retinas in three biological replicates, harvested at P8, and quantified by reporter cDNA versus input-plasmid DNA barcode sequencing.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

The episomal constructs contain 164-bp genomic candidates upstream of the basal Rho promoter and a DsRed reporter. Each unique sequence was represented by three unique 9-bp barcodes; the basal-promoter-only control had 18 barcodes. RNA cDNA and input plasmid DNA barcodes were sequenced. Five retinas were pooled per biological replicate. Rho barcode expression was RPM-normalized, calculated as cDNA/DNA, normalized to replicate-specific basal Rho expression, and averaged across the three replicates. Enhancer, silencer, inactive, and ambiguous classes were assigned by the authors using Welch's t-tests, Benjamini-Hochberg FDR, and twofold thresholds relative to basal Rho activity.

Quality control

Author QC retained reads whose barcode sequence exactly matched the designed sequence (>93% of reads for Rho libraries). Barcodes with fewer than 10 raw counts in the DNA sample were removed; barcodes with fewer than 5 raw counts in any cDNA sample were treated as below detection and set to zero in all samples. Barcode counts were RPM-normalized and averaged per sequence across barcode replicates and biological replicates. This package additionally retained only constructs with numeric author activity and three numeric biological-replicate values: 9,932 of 9,988 construct records passed (4,821 WT, 4,139 MUT-allCrxSites, 673 MUT-shape, and 299 scrambled controls). Missing activity rows were excluded; valid zero activity values were retained. No activity-significance filter was applied to the table, so valid inactive and ambiguous measurements remain available.

Curation notes

This is a region-focused genomic candidate library rather than a natural-allele or GWAS library; MUT-allCrxSites and MUT-shape are designed sequence perturbations. Pairwise WT-versus-mutant fields are available primarily for all-CRX-site mutants. The 150 scrambled controls in each library have valid Rho measurements but do not have the supplementary TF-binding/occupancy annotations, so those fields are blank. The processed table joins the author repository's per-library summaries with the supplied FASTA, supplementary activity/annotation, occupancy, and information-content files; the GEO barcode-count files are retained as the primary raw count inputs.
