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)
Topic
Hepatocellular carcinomaThis series is part of our curated briefing on it.
Samples
25 samples: 25 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
HBV-driven host chromatin accessibility changes affect liver metabolic pathways, iron homeostasis and promote a preneoplastic phenotypeJournal of experimental & clinical cancer research : CR · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
RNA samples from matched tumour (T) and non tumour (NT, at least 2 cm distant from the T) tissues of 10 HBV-related HCC patients from 3 French clinical centres (Lyon Croix Rousse and Toulouse Hospitals and the French National Biological Resource Centres) have been retrospectively studied (Agreement DC-2008−235).
Read the full summary ↓
RNAs from normal liver tissue samples of HBV, HCV and HIV negative adult patients undergoing lobectomy or segmental liver resection for medically required purposes unrelated to this research program at the Centre Leon Bérard (CLB) cancer center (ministerial agreements #AC-2013−1871 and DC-2013−1870) were used as controls. Signed informed written consents in compliance with the requirements of the local ethical committee were obtained from all patients before surgery.

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 GSE251942_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 PRJNA1055956 and SRA study SRP479712. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
25 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Supports a case/control comparison: 20 samples read as cases, 5 as controls.

How we read this: Read from 25 sample titles: 25 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.
