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
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
24 samples: 6 × KO.T vs 6 × KO.UT vs 6 × WT.T vs 6 × WT.UTGroups 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)
MECP2 deficiency causes a broad spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders that can affect both genders, among which Rett syndrome is the most frequent. Main feature of Rett syndrome is an apparent normal development followed by a regression phase in which patients lose most of the previously acquired skills. After this dramatic period, several symptoms progressively get in, including severe intellectual disability, epilepsy, apraxia, breathing abnormalities and motor deterioration.
Read the full summary ↓
MECP2 codes for an epigenetic transcriptional factor particularly abundant in brain; accordingly, several transcriptional defects characterize the Rett syndrome brain. The well recognized deficiency in different neurotrophins and growth factors in Rett patients and mouse models of Mecp2 deficiency led us to investigate the therapeutic potential of nerve growth factor. The study was performed administrating a GMP-grade recombinant human NGF (rhNGF). To identify molecular mechanisms triggering the observed benefits an unbiased RNAseq study was performed.

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 GSE260963_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 PRJNA1084742 and SRA study SRP493620. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
6 × KO.T vs 6 × KO.UT vs 6 × WT.T vs 6 × WT.UT

Supports a between-group comparison across 24 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 24 sample titles; they account for 24 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.
