Summary (written by the submitters)
Two distinct fates, pluripotent epiblast (EPI) and primitive (extra-embryonic) endoderm (PrE), arise from common progenitor cells, the inner cell mass (ICM), in mammalian embryos. To study how these sister identities are forged, we leveraged embryonic (ES) and eXtraembryonic ENdoderm (XEN) stem cells – in vitro counterparts of the EPI and PrE.
Read the full summary ↓
Bidirectional reprogramming between ES and XEN coupled with single-cell RNA and ATAC-seq analyses uncovered distinct rates, efficiencies and trajectories of state conversions, identifying drivers and roadblocks of reciprocal conversions. While GATA4-mediated ES-to-iXEN conversion was rapid and nearly deterministic, OCT4, KLF4 and SOX2-induced XEN-to-iPS reprogramming progressed with diminished efficiency and kinetics. The dominant PrE transcriptional program, safeguarded by Gata4, and globally elevated chromatin accessibility of EPI underscored the differential plasticities of the two states. Mapping in vitro trajectories to embryos revealed reprogramming in either direction tracked along, and toggled between, EPI and PrE in vivo states without transitioning through the ICM.

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 GSE266451_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 PRJNA1107207 and SRA study SRP505404. 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 21 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.
