Single-nucleus RNA-seq · human · 42 samples

What it is
Single-nucleus RNA-seqGene activity measured in individual nuclei (used when whole cells are hard to isolate, for example from frozen tissue).
Organism
Homo sapiens (human)
Samples
42 samples: 42 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)
We performed high-throughput snATAC-seq using the 10X Genomics Chromium platform on archived post-mortem dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (BA9) tissue in MDD subjects who died by suicide and neurotypical control subjects to identify cell-type specific differentially accessible chromatin regions. We further combined snATAC-seq with previously generated snRNA-seq data from the same subjects to generate high-resolution multi-modal accessibility and expression atlas of cortical cells.

This identified accessible chromatin regions potentially regulating expression of genes. Further, MDD-associated genetic risk variants were examined for their allele-specific effects on chromatin accessibility and transcription factors binding sites in cell type speciifc manner, elucdiating target risk genes and pathways associated with MDD.

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 GSE246443_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: Single-cell studies usually ship their counts as 10x files (matrix.mtx, barcodes.tsv, features.tsv), an .h5 file, or an .rds / .h5ad object that Seurat or Scanpy can open. Look for those among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1032938 and SRA study SRP468905. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
42 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 42 sample titles: 42 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.
