Drop the hand-built Files column from the TSS faceted tables. refs #35528

UCSC will generate the download links in the faceted table, so the Files column
each composite built for itself is redundant. Remove downloadCell, the Files
header and cell, the Files entry in subtrackUrls, and the DOWNLOAD constant that
only fed them. The table is now Tissue, Sample class, Experiment, Cell line on
all three composites. writeMetadata no longer needs db or track; the metadata
files it writes are byte-identical.

Lead each Data Access section with the link to the hgdownload directory, since
that is now the way to a single file, and keep the naming convention beside it.
Drop the paragraph describing the Files column.

 <h2>Description</h2>
 
 <p>
 ProCapNet is a neural network trained to predict PRO-cap signal from DNA
 sequence alone. PRO-cap is a run-on assay that captures the 5' end of each
 nascent RNA, so it reports the exact base and strand at which RNA polymerase II
 started transcribing, including at enhancers and at unstable transcripts that
 RNA-seq and CAGE miss. Six separate models were trained, one on each of six cell
 lines with ENCODE PRO-cap data.
 </p>
 
 <p>
 This track holds two kinds of output from those models:
 </p>
 
 <ul>
 <li><b>Predicted PRO-cap</b>: what the model expects the PRO-cap signal to be,
 at every base of the genome, on both strands. The sequence rules that govern
 where initiation happens are largely shared between cell types, so any one model
 highlights sequence capable of driving initiation, including at regions where no
 PRO-cap experiment has been done.</li>
 <li><b>Sequence contribution scores</b>: how much each individual base pushed
 the model's prediction up or down. Bases inside a functional element such as a
 TATA box or an initiator carry high scores, and the pattern of high-scoring
 bases often spells out the recognition sequence of a promoter-associated
 transcription factor. These are computed only around MANE Select transcription
 start sites, so they cover about 1% of the genome and the track is empty
 everywhere else.</li>
 </ul>
 
 <p>
 The predictions are available on GRCh38/hg38 and T2T-CHM13/hs1. The contribution
 scores are available on GRCh38/hg38 only, because they are computed at MANE
 Select transcription start sites and MANE is not defined for T2T-CHM13.
 </p>
 
 <p>
 Predictions are not measurements: they say what the sequence looks capable of,
 not what a given cell is doing. The matching experimental data is in the PRO-cap
 track, available on GRCh38/hg38.
 </p>
 
 <h2>Display Conventions and Configuration</h2>
 
 <p>
 Cell lines are listed in the table on this page, one row each, with a checkbox
 per data type. Use the <b>Sample class</b> facet to narrow the list, and the
 <b>Group tracks by</b> buttons to order the browser by sample or by data type.
 </p>
 
 <p>
 Each predicted PRO-cap track is an overlay of the two strands: plus strand
 predictions are drawn upward and minus strand predictions downward. The y axis
 is the predicted number of PRO-cap reads at that base.
 </p>
 
 <p>
 Contribution scores are drawn as a sequence logo when zoomed in far enough to
 show individual bases: the letter of the reference base is scaled by its score,
 so a run of tall letters is a motif the model relied on. At lower zoom the same
 values are drawn as a wiggle. Scores can be negative, meaning the base argued
 against initiation being placed where it was. Scores exist only in the roughly
 2 kb window around each MANE Select transcription start site, about 38.7 Mb of
 the genome. Everywhere else the track is empty, which is not the same as a score
 of zero.
 </p>
 
 <p>
 Read depth differs between the six PRO-cap experiments the models were trained
 on, and both predicted signal and contribution scores scale with it, so the
 y axis is not comparable between cell lines. Tracks are colored by the cell line
 the model was trained on:

 <h2>Methods</h2>
 
 <p>
 ProCapNet adapts the BPNet architecture: it reads 2,114 bp of sequence and
 predicts a base-resolution initiation profile over the central 1,000 bp on both
 strands, together with the total number of initiation events in that window. One
 model was trained per cell line on ENCODE PRO-cap data, using all PRO-cap peaks
 in that cell line plus sampled DNase-hypersensitive sites as background, with
 7-fold cross-validation split by chromosome. Full details are in Cochran
 <em>et al.</em>, 2024.
 </p>
 
 <p>
 The Kundaje lab generated the genome-wide predictions by applying each model in
 2,114 bp windows at a stride of 250 bp, then averaging across the seven
 cross-validation models and across the forward and reverse-complemented
 sequence. On hg38 no prediction was made where most of a window was unresolved
 (N) in the reference. Contribution scores were computed with DeepSHAP, which
 contrasts the model's output on the real sequence against its output on 25
 dinucleotide shuffles of it, and were computed only at MANE Select transcription
 start sites.

 bigWig at a time, so name a single strand of one cell line rather than the
 container, for example track=<i>proCapNet_K562_pred_pos</i>.

 The ProCapNet models are on the
 <a href="https://www.encodeproject.org" target="_blank">ENCODE portal</a> as
 BPNet-model annotations, one per cell line, linked from the Experiment column of
 the table on this page. Each annotation also holds the trained model, sequence
 contribution scores and predicted signal over a selected set of regions. The
 genome-wide predictions shown here are not part of that ENCODE release.
