Experiment / E3WO11QQDEpisomal Plasmid MPRA

Core-promoter episomal bulk MPRA validation in K562 and HEK293

A single-cell massively parallel reporter assay detects cell-type-specific gene regulation

The same 676-member core-promoter library was transfected separately into K562 and HEK293 cells for bulk MPRA validation. The table contains author GEO counts for reporter RNA and input plasmid DNA plus the author-provided log2 RNA/DNA activity score for each cell line.

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

Separate episomal plasmid transfections in K562 and HEK293 cells; reporter barcodes were amplified from bulk RNA and input DNA, and activities were computed as log2(RNA counts/DNA counts), with barcode activities averaged per promoter. The GEO supplementary table provides the promoter-level normalized scores used here.

Quality control

The paper’s bulk-MPRA method averaged barcode activities after calculating log2 RNA/DNA ratios. The package retained all 676 library elements with a library annotation, finite RNA/DNA counts and finite author activity scores; every retained input-DNA count is greater than zero. No additional read-level QC was possible from the compact GEO summary table.

Curation notes

This is a validation assay distinct from the single-cell experiments but uses the same library; K562 and HEK293 are represented together because the GEO summary table reports both conditions per promoter. The author paper does not state a reference genome assembly for the coordinate labels, so reference_genome is null. The *_bulk_log2_rna_dna_activity columns preserve GEO’s k562_norm and hek_norm values rather than recomputing them from the rounded counts.
