SORT1 enhancer independent-library replicate saturation-mutagenesis MPRA

Saturation mutagenesis of twenty disease-associated regulatory elements at single base-pair resolution

An independently constructed 600-bp SORT1 enhancer saturation-mutagenesis library was tested in HepG2 human hepatoblastoma cells 24 hours after plasmid transfection.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated; independent library replicate

Episomal enhancer saturation-mutagenesis MPRA using the pGL4.23c reporter configuration and a 600-bp construct. Error-prone PCR introduced sequence variants and a 15- or 20-bp random tag in the reporter 3′ UTR; tag-to-variant associations were learned by sequencing. Matched DNA and reporter-RNA tag counts were UMI-counted and fitted with the authors’ multiple linear regression model. The source table is aggregated across three independent transfection replicates; this condition’s reported mean replicate Pearson r is 0.98.

Column dictionary · 15 definitions
variant_id
Variant key formatted as chr:position:reference>alternate; alternate - denotes a one-base deletion.
element
Regulatory element or gene promoter tested in this experiment.
chromosome
Chromosome from the GRCh37/hg19 source table, with chr prefix added.
position_grch37
1-based GRCh37/hg19 genomic position of the reference base.
reference_allele
Reference nucleotide in the assayed construct.
alternate_allele
Substituted nucleotide or - for a one-base deletion.
variant_type
SNV for a single-nucleotide substitution or 1-bp deletion.
tag_count
Number of associated random sequence tags supporting the fitted variant effect.
dna_count
Aggregate plasmid-DNA tag UMI count reported in the source table.
rna_count
Aggregate reporter-RNA tag UMI count reported in the source table.
log2_effect
Fitted variant effect coefficient (log2 RNA/DNA activity effect relative to the reference sequence).
fold_change
2 raised to log2_effect, representing the estimated activity fold change relative to the reference sequence.
p_value
Source coefficient-fit p-value for the fitted variant effect; not multiple-testing adjusted.
significant_p_lt_1e-5
Boolean flag for the paper’s p-value threshold of less than 1e-5.
source_table
Original OSF source table filename used to create this row.

Quality control

The authors required tag-to-variant assignment reads to have at least 3-fold coverage across the full construct, counted each tag×UMI pair once, retained tags observed in both DNA and RNA, and required at least 10 associated tags per variant for downstream model fitting. Package QC additionally removed rows with missing/invalid GRCh37 variant fields, non-positive DNA/RNA counts, non-finite effect or p-value fields, and duplicate variant keys. Of 1998 source rows, 1918 passed and 80 were excluded ({'below_minimum_tags': 80, 'invalid_variant_fields': 0, 'invalid_counts': 0, 'invalid_effect_or_p_value': 0, 'duplicate_variant': 0}). Non-significant variants are retained when they pass QC; significant_p_lt_1e-5 records the paper’s p-value threshold.

Curation notes

Source: GRCh37_SORT1.2.tsv from the authors’ OSF project (https://osf.io/download/5bfc220b737718001a084364/). The source table had 1998 rows and the processed table has 1918 rows after QC. The source reports aggregate counts/effects across three transfection replicates rather than replicate-level rows. SORT1.2 is an independently constructed saturation-mutagenesis library assayed on a different culture/day from SORT1.
