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
12 samples: 3 × M12_WT vs 3 × M12_KO vs 3 × P28_WT vs 3 × P28_KOGroups 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)
Genome-wide association studies have uncovered mostly non-coding variants at over 60 age- related macular degeneration (AMD) susceptibility loci. To ascertain the target gene at the PILRB/PILRA locus, we used a CRISPR strategy to produce germline deletions in the mouse paired immunoglobin-like type 2 receptor (Pilr) genes that encode highly related activating (PILRB) and inhibitory (PILRA) receptors.
Read the full summary ↓
We show that a combined loss of Pilrb1 and Pilrb2, but not Pilra, leads to an early but relatively stationary defect in photoreceptor function without any apparent change in other retinal cells. PILRB immunostaining is specifically detected at the proximal part of photoreceptor outer segment. Reduced expression of select calcium-regulated phototransduction and synapse-associated proteins, including GCAP1 and 2, PDE6B, AIPL1, PSD95, and CTBP1, indicate dysregulation of calcium homeostasis as a possible mechanism of retinal phenotype in Pilrb1/2 -/- mice. Our studies suggest an association of PILRB, and not PILRA, with AMD pathogenesis.

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 GSE264349_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 PRJNA1102013 and SRA study SRP502668. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
3 × M12_WT vs 3 × M12_KO vs 3 × P28_WT vs 3 × P28_KO

Supports a between-group comparison across 12 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 12 sample titles; they account for 12 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.
