What it is
Single-cell RNA-seqGene activity measured in thousands of individual cells, so cell types can be told apart. Read from the summary: GEO's own type field only says 'expression profiling by sequencing', so confirm it in the paper.
Organism
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
18 samples: 5 × e12_to_e12 vs 5 × e12_to_e16 vs 4 × e16_to_e16 vs 4 × e16_to_e12Groups 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)
Inhibitory neurons of the telencephalon are generated from progenitors in the ganglionic eminences that mature and differentiate into specialized cell types. Here, we used scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq together with lineage tracing and birthdating techniques to investigate the influence of neurogenesis timing on the development of GABAergic precursors.
Read the full summary ↓
We found that the timing of neurogenesis substantially influences the progenitors' maturation competence (the capacity to develop toward a fully functional state), but not their differentiation competence (the ability to evolve into transcriptomically diverse states). The underlying mechanism was chromatin priming, orchestrated by the transcription factor Nfib in collaboration with regulators of inhibitory neuron development. Finally, the heterochronic transplantation of progenitors revealed an interplay between both intrinsic and extrinsic cues acting upon maturation competence. These findings identify a mechanism that coordinates inhibitory neuron development by changing their maturation to achieve maximum adaptability.

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 GSE255103_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 PRJNA1073524 and SRA study SRP488243. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
5 × e12_to_e12 vs 5 × e12_to_e16 vs 4 × e16_to_e16 vs 4 × e16_to_e12

Supports a between-group comparison across 18 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 18 sample titles; they account for 18 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.
