Experiment / E92GL54V1Episomal Plasmid MPRA

GT1-7 hypothalamic GnRH neuron MPRA

A functional genomics pipeline identifies pleiotropy and cross-tissue effects within obesity-associated GWAS loci

An episomal pMPRA1 library of 175-bp human genomic sequences centered on 2,396 high-LD BMI GWAS SNPs was tested in the mouse GT1-7 hypothalamic GnRH neuronal cell line. The table contains the 68 study-level EMVars with at least one reported activity value across two biological libraries and three technical replicates per biological library.

Processed tables are specific to each experiment. Column names, units, measurements, and table structure are not standardized across the database. Check this experiment’s column definitions and quality-control notes before comparing or combining data.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / untreated GT1-7 cells; cells collected 48 h after transfection

The pMPRA1 episomal reporter contained 175 bp of endogenous human sequence centered on each candidate SNP and 18–19 unique 10-bp barcodes per allele. Reporter RNA activity was measured against input plasmid DNA after transfection; the paper reports quantile-normalized activity units. The source replicate structure is two independently cloned biological libraries with three technical transfections each for this condition.

Quality control

The paper required exact reverse-complement matches to expected barcodes, removed lowly expressed barcodes, required at least 8 CT enrichment of eGFP RT(+) over RT(−) to limit plasmid-DNA contamination, and called EMVars using FDR-corrected two-sided Mann–Whitney tests with reproducibility in at least half of technical replicates or both biological replicates. Supplementary Data 6 is the paper's post-QC EMVar activity sheet; rows with no reported activity value for this condition were excluded from this table.

Curation notes

The processed table is a condition-specific view of the 94 study-level EMVars in Supplementary Data 6. The source activity sheet has no allele column, so no nucleotide identity, reference/alternate assignment, or direction of allelic effect was inferred. Source activity units were retained and summarized without recomputing from sequence reads; the source coordinates use hg19 0-based half-open intervals.
