Experiment / E6VXMPOS1Episomal Plasmid MPRA

PYS-2 MPRA of mammalian CRE orthologs and endogenous CRE tuning trajectories

Retracing and rewriting the evolutionary trajectories of mammalian developmental enhancers

A pooled episomal 5′ MPRA in mouse PYS-2 cells tested 1,871 extant or reconstructed mammalian orthologs of five 300-bp mouse developmental enhancer tiles together with model-nominated enhancement and ablation trajectories for those enhancers. The deposited library also contained promoter standards and other controls, and was measured in three biological replicates.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

Bulk episomal 5′ reporter assay with CRE inserts upstream of a minimal promoter driving GFP and a 15-bp random molecular barcode in the reporter 5′ UTR. PYS-2 cells were transfected with Lipofectamine 2000, harvested 48 hours later, and DNA/RNA barcode-UMI counts were used to estimate RNA/DNA activity; three biological replicates were sequenced on NextSeq 2000. This IGVF data set combines the five-CRE ortholog library and the 50-step model-nominated enhancement/ablation libraries in one experiment (IGVFDS1754MDNZ; files IGVFFI3295ZQBJ, IGVFFI7026BKIY, and IGVFFI8148RLWG).

Quality control

The upstream MPRA pipeline filtered CRE–barcode associations at a minimum of 10 association reads, removed duplicate/low-quality barcode mappings, quantified UMI-normalized RNA/DNA activity with a 1% upper-tail winsorization, and used BCalm comparisons to negative controls. For this package, a row was retained only when its sequence design and element score were present, the sequence contained only A/C/G/T/N characters, and n_bc was at least 10 in each of the three replicates; RNA counts were not thresholded so true low-activity/ablated constructs were preserved. The processed table retains 2,380 of 2,404 scored count-table elements: 1,845 ortholog test elements, 504 endogenous-tuning test elements, and 31 controls. Replicate Spearman correlations for non-control log2 activity were 0.967 (1–2), 0.967 (1–3), and 0.962 (2–3).

Curation notes

The physical library and three-replicate data submission combines ortholog sequences and endogenous CRE-tuning trajectories, so they remain one experiment/table with design_group and trajectory fields separating them. Ortholog sequences are 300-bp maximum-activity tiles with naturally variable lengths in some recovered designs; full-length tested mouse/control constructs are retained where present. The IGVF portal labels the submitted file assembly GRCm39, while the paper's methods describe initial mm10 mapping. The related saturation-mutagenesis/sub-tiling MPRA is a separate companion study and is not represented as a child experiment here.
