Modern-versus-archaic lentiMPRA in H1 embryonic stem cells

The cis-regulatory effects of modern human-specific variants

The study assayed 200-bp archaic/ancestral and modern/derived sequence pairs centered on fixed or nearly fixed modern-human-specific single-nucleotide variants in H1 (WA01) embryonic stem cells. Three independent lentiMPRA infections were quantified through barcode RNA/DNA abundance.

Perturbation & assay details

Perturbation not reported.

Integrated lentiviral MPRA constructs carried the 200-bp candidate sequence pair, a minimal promoter, and transcribed barcode readouts in the reporter 5′ UTR. Barcode RNA and DNA abundance were measured in three replicates; MPRAnalyze estimated allele activity and modern-versus-archaic differential activity.

Quality control

The paper used MPRAnalyze with replicate-aware RNA/DNA models, required at least 10 barcodes for both alleles before calling activity, applied an empirical scrambled-sequence RNA/DNA FDR <= 0.05 after excluding scrambled sequences more than 2 standard deviations from their mean, and called modern-versus-archaic differential activity at Benjamini-Hochberg FDR <= 0.05 among active pairs. For this package, rows were additionally required to have complete coordinates, both 200-bp sequences, and complete core measurements; pairs with fewer than 10 barcodes for either allele or missing core measurements were excluded. The table retains both active and inactive QC-passing pairs: 13585 of 14,042 source pairs retained (449 removed for low barcode coverage; 8 removed for missing core measurements); 1183 are paper-called active and 110 are paper-called differentially active.

Curation notes

The source calls the non-modern sequence “archaic”; it is the ancestral allele used as the modern-human comparison. These are genome-wide fixed or nearly fixed modern-human-specific variants rather than dbSNP-tagged common variants, so variant_id is a coordinate identifier and not an rsID. The 200-bp windows include additional sequence differences for some pairs (the paper reports 1,362 such pairs). Coordinates are supplied in both hg19 and hg38, with reference_genome set to hg19 because the primary oligo coordinates are hg19. Three biological replicates were performed for this cell type; per-replicate log2 fold-changes are retained from Supplementary file 1j. The GEO workbook aggregates replicates, so the eLife supplement is the primary source for the table. No treatment perturbation was reported.
