Samples
26 samples: 26 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.

Summary (written by the submitters)
Single-cell lineage tracing based on CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing enables the simultaneous linkage of cell states and lineage history at a high resolution. Despite its immense potential in resolving the cell fate determination and genealogy within an organism, existing implementations of this technology suffers from the limitations in recording capabilities and considerable information dropout.
Read the full summary ↓
Here, we introduce a versatile tool, DuTracer, which utilizes two orthogonal gene editing systems to record deep cell lineage history at single-cell resolution in an inducible manner. DuTracer shows the ability of enhanced lineage recording with minimized target dropouts and deepened tree depth. Application of DuTracer in mouse embryoid bodies and neuromesodermal organoids illustrates the transition pattern of the lineage relationship of different cell types and proposes potential lineage-biased molecular drivers. Moreover, we have developed an entropy-based approach to quantify the lineage recording ability of DuTracer in cell differentiation models. Together, DuTracer facilitates the precise and regulatory interrogation of cellular lineages of complex biological processes.

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 GSE261211_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 PRJNA1085760 and SRA study SRP494197. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

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

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 26 sample titles: 26 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.
