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
26 samples: 26 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.
Paper
Simulated lunar microgravity transiently arrests growth and induces osteocyte-chondrocyte lineage differentiation in human Wharton's jelly stem cellsNPJ microgravity · 2024
Summary (written by the submitters)
Human Wharton’s jelly stem cells (hWJSCs) are multipotent stem cells extensively employed in biotechnology applications and can be differentiated into distinct lineages through various culture approaches. However, the impact of simulated microgravity (sμG) on the growth, differentiation, and viability of this cell population is incompletely characterized.
Read the full summary ↓
We aimed to determine whether acute (72 hour) exposure to lunar sμG (0.16 G) elicited changes in growth, viability and lineage differentiation in hWJSCs and if putative changes were maintained once exposure to terrestrial gravity (1.0G) was restored. Our data support earlier findings that acute sμG significantly reduces cell division potential of hWJSCs, and suggest that actute sμG-exposure induces reversible changes in cell growth accompanied by osteocyte – chondrocyte changes in lineage differentiation.

This dataset
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 GSE248366_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 PRJNA1043607 and SRA study SRP473245. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
26 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 26 sample titles: 26 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.
