HARPE DPR library in the TATA-containing SCP1 background in HeLa cells

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 transiently transfected into HeLa cells in the TATA-containing SCP1 core-promoter background. Reporter RNA/cDNA and recovered plasmid DNA were sequenced to quantify DPR-dependent transcription strength.

Perturbation & assay details

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

Custom HARPE assay based on a modified SuRE episomal plasmid. The randomized DPR is tested with the TATA-containing SCP1 promoter cassette; activity_score is reporter RNA RPM divided by recovered plasmid DNA RPM. Replicates are independent transfections and downstream processing of the same library.

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

Raw GEO files are GSM4411945 and GSM4411946 from GSE139635. HARPE is a custom high-throughput randomized promoter assay rather than a conventional barcode-per-oligo MPRA; the sequence itself identifies the downstream variant. 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.
