Allele-specific plasmid MPRA across 10 acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines
Investigation of inherited noncoding genetic variation impacting the pharmacogenomics of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatmentA plasmid library containing 175-bp sequences centered on 1,696 reference/alternative regulatory SNVs was tested in seven B-ALL cell lines (697, BALL1, Nalm6, REH, RS411, SEM, SUPB15) and three T-ALL cell lines (CEM, Jurkat, P12-Ichikawa). Each allele was represented by 28 unique 3′-UTR barcodes and each cell line had four transfections; table.csv retains one row per variant–phenotype–cell-line result with the authors’ differential statistics and count-derived allele activities.

Perturbation & assay details
Basal / Untreated
The pMPRA1 plasmid carries the 175-bp reference or alternative sequence, restriction sites, a unique 10-bp barcode in the reporter 3′ UTR, and a minimal promoter driving truncated eGFP. Oligos were cloned by Gibson assembly after emulsion PCR, libraries were electroporated with the Neon system, and reporter RNA and plasmid DNA were sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000. The authors analyzed RNA and DNA barcode counts after merging all barcodes for each allele with mpralm.

Quality control
The authors trimmed MPRA reads to exact barcode sequences without mismatches, counted all matching barcodes, and used mpralm on RNA and DNA counts after merging counts across barcodes for each allele. Plasmid construction included insert-size and gel checks, and the library-transfection design used four independent transfections per cell line. Package QC required a recognized cell line, finite author logFC/AveExpr/t/P.Value/adj.P.Val/B values, and positive reference/alternative DNA and RNA aggregate counts in the matching GEO count files; all 26,300 author rows passed and were retained. Count-derived activity values are the mean of four replicate log2((allele RNA CPM + 1)/(allele DNA CPM + 1)) values, and author significance is adj.P.Val < 0.05.
Curation notes
The processed table follows the current GEO release GSE225263_MPRA_ALL_CELL_LINES.txt.gz and includes 26,300 rows spanning 1,696 unique variants, 1,749 variant–phenotype associations, and 10 cell lines. The source spreadsheet and GEO release differ only in formatting/precision and positive-control placeholder conventions; source spreadsheets and count files are preserved in raw_data. The count-derived activity is an independently transparent CPM summary, not a refit of mpralm. The 47 variants tested in both orientations are not separately represented because the public result is already collapsed to the variant-level allele comparison. Cellosaurus identifiers correspond to the named DSMZ cell lines: 697, BALL-1, CCRF-CEM, Jurkat, NALM-6, P12-Ichikawa, Reh, RS4;11, SEM, and SUP-B15.
