Experiment / E5CMFAX4PEpisomal Plasmid MPRA

C2C12 episomal MPRA of tiled mouse lincRNA and mRNA loci

Enhancers in the Peril lincRNA locus regulate distant but not local genes

A pooled plasmid MPRA tested 90-bp elements tiled every 50 bp across six mouse lincRNA loci and their nearest protein-coding neighbors, with five redundant 10-nt barcodes per element plus promoter controls. Five C2C12 RNA libraries were compared with five VEC plasmid-DNA input libraries to quantify enhancer activity.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

The construct contains a 90-nt genomic or control element, restriction-enzyme sites, a unique 10-nt barcode, universal primer sequences, and a minimal-promoter GFP reporter. The five C2C12 RNA samples are C2C12_A_1, C2C12_A_2, C2C12_B_1, C2C12_B_2, and C2C12_B_3; the five DNA input controls are VEC_A_1, VEC_A_2, VEC_A_3, VEC_B_1, and VEC_B_2. The paper describes RNA biological replicates from two passages and DNA libraries generated on two separate days.

Quality control

The source analysis reported normalized replicate correlations of R2 > 0.99 and an RNA-versus-DNA input correlation of approximately 0.8544. Counts below 10 were treated as missing during library-depth and median normalization; barcode rows were retained only when all five VEC DNA input libraries had at least 10 counts. In the full GEO count matrix, 15,988 rows meet this threshold; after joining to the oligo annotation, 14,948 annotated barcode rows were retained. The 1,285 GEO count rows lacking oligo annotation were omitted from the packaged table. This yielded 4,182 element rows; elements with no passing annotated barcode were excluded, while the number of passing barcodes is retained per row. Element activity is the median of passing barcode activity ratios. For deterministic processing, all 100 possible combinations of two RNA replicates and three DNA replicates were used for each barcode, which follows the paper's median-of-resampled-ratios procedure while avoiding dependence on a random draw sequence; the paper used 1,000 random draws. The paper's 500-bp sliding-window significance analysis with 1% Benjamini-Hochberg FDR is not represented as a per-element p-value in this table.

Curation notes

This is one pooled region-focused MPRA experiment, not a Peril-only assay: the library covers Crnde/Irx5, Fendrr/Foxf1, LincEnc1/Enc1, Lincp21/Cdkn1a, Peril/Sox2, and Tug1/Morc2a, with CMV, EF1a, TK, and scrambled controls. The table is element-level and therefore intentionally aggregates redundant barcodes; the raw GEO barcode count matrix and full oligo annotation remain in raw_data. Blank coordinate/TSS fields identify non-genomic controls. This assay measures tiled regulatory activity rather than allelic variant effects. The paper's prose describes selecting one RNA and one DNA replicate for each resample, while the supplied R Markdown implements two RNA and three VEC selections; this package follows the supplied code and uses all 100 possible two-RNA/three-DNA combinations deterministically.
