Single-nucleus RNA-seq · human · 15 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). Read from the summary: GEO's own type field only says 'expression profiling by sequencing', so confirm it in the paper.
Organism
Homo sapiens (human)
Samples
15 samples: 6 × ATRNL1_sirna vs 3 × lenti_c vs 3 × lenti_short vs 3 × siRNA_aCMGroups 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.

Large-scale single-nuclei profiling identifies role for ATRNL1 in atrial fibrillationNature communications · 2024
Summary (written by the submitters)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in humans, yet the molecular basis of AF remains incompletely understood. To determine the cell type-specific transcriptional changes underlying AF, we performed single-nucleus RNA-seq (snRNA-seq) on age- and sex-matched left atrial (LA) samples from 18 patients with AF and 16 controls without AF.

From more than 175,000 nuclei we identified 15 cell types but found that only cardiomyocytes (CMs) and macrophages (MΦs) had a significant number of differentially expressed genes in patients with AF. Attractin Like 1 (ATRNL1) was strongly overexpressed in CMs among patients with AF and localized to the intercalated discs. Further, in both knockdown and overexpression experiments in atrial human embryonic stem cell-derived CMs (hESC-aCMs) we identified a potent role for ATRNL1 in cell stress response, cardiac conduction, cell junction organization and in modulation of the cardiac action potential. Finally, we prioritized genes at the known genetic loci for AF and identified an unexpected expression for a leading AF candidate gene, KCNN3. In sum, we have identified a role for ATRNL1 and other differentially regulated genes that may serve as potential therapeutic targets for this common arrhythmia.

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 GSE255991_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 PRJNA1077364 and SRA study SRP490069. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
6 × ATRNL1_sirna vs 3 × lenti_c vs 3 × lenti_short vs 3 × siRNA_aCM

Supports a between-group comparison across 15 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 15 sample titles; they account for 15 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.
