RNA-seq (gene expression) · human · 216 samples

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
216 samples: 206 × Liver patient vs 10 × Liver control sampleGroups 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)
The pathophysiological mechanisms that drive non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progression remain poorly understood. This multicenter study characterized the transcriptional changes that occur as liver disease progresses. 216 snap frozen liver biopsies, comprising 206 NAFLD cases with different fibrosis stages and 10 controls were studied.
Read the full summary ↓
Samples underwent high-throughput RNA sequencing. This study provides novel insights into transcriptional changes during liver disease evolution and progression as well as proof of principle that transcriptomic changes reveal potentially tractable biomarkers for NAFLD fibrosis.

Download · which file do I need?

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 GSE135251_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 PRJNA558102 and SRA study SRP217231. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
206 × Liver patient vs 10 × Liver control sample

Supports a case/control comparison: 206 samples read as cases, 10 as controls.

How we read this: 2 replicated groups read from 216 sample titles; they account for 216 of them. 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.
