HARPE long-TATA library in HeLa cells

Identification of the human DPR core promoter element using machine learning

A modified HARPE plasmid library randomized the long TATA region from -32 to -21 relative to the initiator +1 TSS and linked each TATA variant to a downstream barcode. The library was transiently transfected into HeLa cells; reporter RNA/cDNA and recovered plasmid DNA were sequenced to quantify TATA-dependent transcription strength.

Perturbation & assay details

Transient long-TATA HARPE library transfection into HeLa cells (Lipofectamine 3000); no additional treatment

The upstream randomized TATA sequence was linked to a downstream 15-nucleotide barcode by paired-end sequencing of the starting library. Barcode-to-TATA conversion tables were used to assign RNA and DNA observations; TATA variants with multiple linked barcodes were collapsed by the mean barcode-level activity score. activity_score is RNA RPM divided by DNA RPM.

Quality control

The GEO inputs had already been filtered by exact flanking-sequence and expected-length read matching, removal of likely index-contamination/invariant reads, barcode-to-TATA conversion filtering, and DNA count >=10 with DNA RPM >=0.75. This package re-applied those thresholds, retained finite A/C/G/T TATA sequences, matched the two biological replicates by exact tested_sequence, and retained only sequence elements detected in both replicates; zero-RNA elements were retained as informative inactive measurements.

Curation notes

Raw GEO files are GSM4145012 and GSM4145013; the barcode conversion table is included in raw_data. This table collapses linked barcodes to one row per TATA sequence using the paper's mean activity rule. Scores are relative RNA/DNA ratios, not log2 fold changes or allele-specific effects; the library is synthetic and has no genomic rsIDs or coordinates. HeLa is represented by Cellosaurus CVCL:0030.
