O9-1 cranial neural crest cell episomal MPRA

Dissecting functional regulatory convergence over 160 million years of therian evolution

An episomal barcode reporter assay tested orthologous thylacine-and-wolf-accelerated regions (TWARs), ancestral and outgroup orthologs, mouse ortholog controls, and cell-line controls in O9-1 mouse cranial neural crest cells. The library used 10-bp sliding tiles for sequences longer than 170 bp and three biological replicate pDNA/cDNA measurements.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

Reporter constructs were assembled in the pMPRA1 plasmid (Addgene 49349) with 15-bp randomized barcodes and inserts up to 170 bp. Longer regions were tiled with overlapping 10-bp steps; barcode sequencing produced pDNA and cDNA counts for three O9-1 biological replicates.

Quality control

Raw barcode counts were normalized to library-size CPM and log2-transformed after adding a 0.1 pseudocount. Barcode observations were retained when the mean log2 pDNA CPM across the three replicates was at least -5.75, and oligos were retained only when at least 10 barcodes passed that filter. For each retained oligo and replicate, activity was calculated as log2 cDNA CPM minus log2 pDNA CPM, summarized by the median across barcodes, and tested with a one-sided t-test against the overall replicate activity mean; p-values were BH-adjusted within replicate. An oligo was flagged active when FDR was below 0.05 in at least one replicate and below 0.10 in at least two. The resulting table contains 18,459 QC-passing oligos, including 1,379 active oligos.

Curation notes

O9-1 is mapped to Cellosaurus CVCL_GS42. The public repository contains 22,110 annotated tiles and the raw count table contains 4,786,602 barcode rows. This table retains only oligos with independent barcode observations passing the stated filters. The paper reports 1,389 active sequences; the repository R code appears to use replicate-2 pDNA in the replicate-1 activity subtraction and reattaches duplicate-sequence annotations without independent barcode observations. Here the Methods-described same-replicate pDNA/cDNA pairing is used, yielding 1,379 active measured oligo groups; inferred duplicate rows were not added.
