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
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
18 samples: 9 conditions, mostly in duplicateGroups 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.

Time-resolved Small-RNA Sequencing Identifies MicroRNAs Critical for Formation of Embryonic Stem Cells from the Inner Cell Mass of Mouse EmbryosStem cell reviews and reports · 2023
Summary (written by the submitters)
Cells of the inner cell mass (ICM) acquire a unique ability for unlimited self-renewal during transition into embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in vitro, while preserving their natural multi-lineage differentiation potential. Several different pathways have been identified to play critical roles in the formation of ESCs but the function of non-coding RNAs in this process is poorly understood.

Here, we describe several microRNAs (miRNAs) that are crucial for efficient generation of mouse ESCs from ICMs. Using small-RNA sequencing, we characterize dynamic changes in miRNA expression profiles during outgrowth of ICMs in a high-resolution, time-course dependent manner. We detected several waves of miRNA transcription during ESC formation, to which miRNAs from the imprinted Dlk1-Dio3 locus contribute extensively. Stringent in silico and functional analyses reveal that Dlk1-Dio3 locus-embedded miRNAs (miR-541-5p, miR-410-3p, and miR-381-3p), miR-183-5p and miR-302b-3p promote, while miR-212-5p and let-7d-3p inhibit efficient ICM transition to ESCs. Collectively, these findings offer new mechanistic insights into the role of miRNAs during ESC derivation.

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 GSE205361_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 PRJNA844614 and SRA study SRP378169. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

How we read this: 9 replicated groups read from 18 sample titles; they account for 18 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.
