Paper
RNA polymerase I is essential for driving the formation of 3D genome in early embryonic development in mouse, but not in humanGenome medicine · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
The distinctions in 3D genome between humans and mice, as well as the mechanisms underlying de novo organization, remain unexplored. Our study revealed an extensive reorganization of the 3D genome from human oogenesis to early embryogenesis, displaying significant differences to the mouse, notably dramatically attenuated TADs at GV stage in human.

The 3D genome reconstruction timing also differs between species, which it initiates at the 4-cell stage in human, while in mouse, it commences at the 2-cell stage in mouse. We discovered that RNA polymerase I (Pol I) is crucial for establishing the chromatin structures during mouse embryogenesis, but not in human embryos. Intriguingly, the absence of Pol I transcription weakens TAD structure in mouse female germline stem cells, whereas it fortifies it in human counterparts. Our findings provide valuable insights into chromatin organization during germ cell and embryonic development and have implications for fertility preservation and birth defect prevention.

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 GSE236160_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: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA989158 and SRA study SRP446623. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 13 samples.

How we read this: 6 replicated groups read from 13 sample titles; they account for 13 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.
