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
12 samples: 12 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.

Male-biased Yap1-Cd276/B7-H3 axis for immune evasion in medulloblastomaCancer cell · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
The incidence of many human cancers differs according to sex, but little is known about the interplay between oncogenic events and sex as a variable in tumorigenesis. Here we report that the oncogene Yap1 is sexually dimorphic in medulloblastoma progression and immune suppression. We show that Yap1 promotes stemness and blocks differentiation in sonic hedgehog (SHH)-subtype medulloblastoma by at least two distinct but complementary molecular mechanisms to regulate the RNA expression and protein functions of Sox2, Atoh1, NeuroD1, and Zic1/2.
Read the full summary ↓
Yap1 also promotes an immune suppressive tumor microenvironment by directly regulating Csf1, Igf1, and Igfbp3 transcription and modulating IL6-JAK-STAT3, TNFR1, TGF-β, and CCL5 immune pathways. Notably, Yap1 function is more critical in males and this is evolutionarily conserved: genes downstream of YAP1 identified in mouse models stratify male but not female medulloblastoma patient survival. In summary, we demonstrate a sex-based function for an oncogene, underscoring the critical need to incorporate sex as a variable in cancer mechanism and clinical response studies, particularly those involving YAP1

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 GSE223114_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.

Raw reads on ENA ↗

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 PRJNA924854 and SRA study SRP417971. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
12 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 12 sample titles: 12 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.
