HMC3 APA variant MPRA

Deciphering the impact of genetic variation on human polyadenylation using APARENT2

An episomal mCherry reporter MPRA tested reference and variant 250-nt oligo libraries containing PAS-centered sequences in HMC3 cells. Cleavage profiles were measured by UMI-collapsed paired-end MiSeq RNA sequencing for two biological replicates; the table reports proximal cleavage log-odds ratios and APARENT2 predictions.

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

Two separate 250-nt Twist oligo pools (reference and variant) were cloned 25 nt upstream of the bGH poly(A) signal in an mCherry reporter using In-Fusion assembly. HMC3 cells were transfected with Lipofectamine 3000; poly(A)+ mRNA was reverse-transcribed with an anchored polyT/UMI primer, sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq (read 1, 292 nt; read 2, 8 nt UMI), and cleavage positions were called from consecutive 20-A runs allowing up to 2 substitutions. Reads without a called proximal polyadenylation site were treated as distal cleavage. The GEO table reports APARENT2 predictions and measured logit/log-odds metrics for the +1 to +51 nt downstream-of-CSE proximal window and for the full proximal interval.

Quality control

The authors trimmed read 1 adapters with cutadapt v1.15, mapped reads to the known library sequences allowing up to 2 substitutions in the upstream sequence, identified polyadenylation by searching for a consecutive run of 20 A bases with up to 2 substitutions, collapsed mapped reads over read-2 UMIs, and pooled two biological replicates. For this package, rows were retained only when both reference and variant had at least 5 pooled unique UMIs in the +1 to +51 nt downstream-of-CSE window and at least 20 pooled unique UMIs across proximal and distal cleavage. This retained 87 of 100 source rows; the 13 remaining rows were excluded for insufficient proximal or total UMI support.

Curation notes

GEO supplies 100 library rows per cell line, whereas the paper describes 94 clinically relevant PAS SNVs plus 6 previously measured control PASs. Many ASD/de novo entries have no rs identifier; their exact source label is retained in source_variant_label and their element_id is disambiguated with the library condition. The source paper has a typographical HCM3 spelling in one methods passage; GEO and Cellosaurus identify this biosample as HMC3 (ATCC CRL-3304, CVCL:II76). The processed table uses author-provided measured LORs rather than recomputing them and keeps both replicate-specific and pooled values.
