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
82 samples: 82 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)
In this study, we established human hepatocyte organoids (HHOs) that were expanded from primary human hepatocytes (PHH) in a defined medium. Briefly, the cryopreserved primary human hepatocytes (purchased) were thawn in advanced DMEM/F12 (Thermo) or Cryopreserved hepatocyte Recovery Medium (Gibco). Then, the cells were embedded in Matrigel (Corning) and cultured with the expansion medium (EM).

For the eHHOs, expansion medium (EM) was prepared with a basal medium (Advanced DMEM/F12 was supplemented with penicillin/streptomycin, 10 mM HEPES, 2 mM GlutaMAX, 1 ×(Thermo Fisher Scientific), 10 nM gastrin I (Sigma), and 1 mM N-acetylcysteine (Wako, Japan) ) containing the following niche factors: 50 ng/ml mouse recombinant EGF (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 25 ng/mL human recombinant HGF (Peprotech), 100 ng/mL human recombinant FGF-10 (Peprotech), 10 uM Forskolin (Cayman Chemical), 25 ng/ml mouse recombinant noggin (Peprotech), 1 mg/ml human recombinant R-spondin1 (R; R&D), 20% Afamin-Wnt-3A serum-free conditioned medium (W; Mihara et al., 2016), 5 uM A83-01 (Tocris), and 20ng/ml human Oncostatin M (OSM; Peprotech). For dHHOs, eHHOs were cultured for 10-14 days in differentiation medium (DM), which was EM without OSM and WR, and containing a hormone cocktail (10ng/ml Growth Hormone, 10ng/ml Prolactin, and 100 ng/ml Cortisol) and 10uM DAPT (differentiation medium: DM).

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 GSE228249_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 PRJNA949133 and SRA study SRP429470. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
82 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 82 sample titles: 82 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.
