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
161 samples: 139 distinct titles, 22 of them repeatedGroups 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.
Paper
An immunocompetent murine model of virus-elicited liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinomaJournal of hepatology · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
The NrHV-HCC model represents the first immunocompetent infectious system that faithfully recapitulates the multistage progression from chronic viral hepatitis to spontaneous hepatocellular carcinoma, bridging a long-standing translational gap between mechanistic mouse studies and human liver cancer. By mirroring the immunopathological, molecular, and sex-associated features of chronic HCV infection, this model provides an unparalleled platform to investigate virus-host interactions underlying fibrosis and oncogenesis.
Read the full summary ↓
High HCC penetrance and the genetically tractable C57BL/6 background further enhance experimental utility, enabling precise mechanistic dissection and genetic manipulation in a physiologically relevant setting. The capacity to study spontaneous tumor development in the context of natural infection allows for rigorous testing of antifibrotic and anti-cancer strategies, while the persistence of oncogenic potential after viral clearance raises important questions about irreversible disease reprogramming and elevated cancer risk following viral cure - issues of direct relevance to patients cured of HCV.

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 GSE265927_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 PRJNA1104985 and SRA study SRP504184. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
