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
20 samples: 10 conditions, mostly in duplicateGroups 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 show strong activation of TEs in the context of DNA virus infection and investigate the molecular mechanisms of how TEs are induced. We demonstrate that herpesvirus infection leads to a robust expression of the MLT and THE1-class of LTR containing retrotransposons as well as a subset of long-interspersed nuclear elements-1 (LINEs), Alu-elements and some HERVs. Mechanistically we demonstrate that this TEs upregulation is induced by two pathways that act synergistically: de-repression of KAP1/TRIM28 mediated by phosphorylation and expression of the pioneer factor double-homeobox 4 (DUX4).

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 GSE256111_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 PRJNA1078282 and SRA study SRP490438. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 20 samples.

How we read this: 10 replicated groups read from 20 sample titles; they account for 20 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.
