HARPE full DPR library in vitro with Sarkosyl

Identification of the human DPR core promoter element using machine learning

A HARPE plasmid library with the 19-nucleotide DPR segment randomized from +17 to +35 relative to the initiator +1 TSS was transcribed in vitro with HeLa nuclear extract. Sarkosyl was added to 0.2% (w/v) 20 seconds after rNTP initiation to restrict transcriptional progression, and RNA/cDNA and plasmid DNA were sequenced for each variant.

Perturbation & assay details

In vitro transcription with HeLa nuclear extract; 0.2% Sarkosyl added 20 seconds after rNTP initiation

Custom HARPE assay based on a modified SuRE episomal plasmid with a randomized DPR in an invariant promoter cassette. Twelve standard reactions were pooled per sample; Sarkosyl was used as a single-round transcription condition. activity_score is RNA RPM divided by DNA RPM, and the extract source is HeLa nuclear extract.

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, and DNA count >=10 with DNA RPM >=0.75. This package re-applied those thresholds, retained finite A/C/G/T 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

HARPE is a custom high-throughput randomized promoter assay rather than a conventional barcode-per-oligo MPRA; the sequence itself identifies the downstream variant. Source files are GSM4144996 and GSM4144997 from GEO GSE139635. 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 nuclear extract is the biological source; the assay is cell-free.
