What it is
RNA-seq (gene expression)Gene activity measured by sequencing. The summary does not mention single-cell work, so this is most likely bulk: one average per sample, the usual starting point for comparing groups.
Organism
Homo sapiens (human)
Samples
44 samples: 44 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groupsGroups are read from the sample names, not from the paper. Check the list below.
Data you can get
A processed table (series matrix) and supplementary files from NCBI; the raw sequencing reads from ENA. Which of these hold counts depends on the study, so check the file list.
Summary (written by the submitters)
Background: The small airway epithelium (SAE, >6th generations), the initiation site of smoking-induced airway disorders, is highly sensitive to the stress of smoking. Due to variations over time in smoking habits, the SAE transcriptome fluctuates not only among smokers, but within each smoker. Averaging the HG-U133 Plus 2.0 transcriptome sampled 4 times in the same individuals over 1 yr enabled the identification of “public” smoking-dysregulated genes, i.e., genes consistently dysregulated within each smoker and shared by most smokers.

Using an independent cohort of smokers assessed before and after quitting smoking, it was possible to assess the effect of smoking cessation on the “public” genes over time and identify a subset of genes that remain persistently abnormally expressed despite 12 months of smoking cessation.

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE130967_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA542140 and SRA study SRP197342. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
44 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 44 sample titles: 44 distinct titles with little repetition. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
