What it is
Single-nucleus RNA-seqGene activity measured in individual nuclei (used when whole cells are hard to isolate, for example from frozen tissue).
Organism
Homo sapiens (human)
Samples
37 samples: 37 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)
FFPE tissue samples have long been considered challenging for sc-/sn-RNA sequencing assays. In this study, we developed a novel snRNA-seq workflow, snPATHO-seq, for FFPE tissue samples utilising isolated high-quality nuclei from FFPE samples and 10X Genomics FLEX chemistry. The snPATHO-seq demonstrated consistent performance with the established 10X Genomics 3' assay.

In addition, it allows more accurate single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomics integration with the FFPE Visium dataset generated from the same FFPE block. We envision this new protocol can facilitate the transcriptomic interpretation of millions of FFPE archives generated and simplify the sample collection process and data generation.

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 GSE268426_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 PRJNA1117352 and SRA study SRP510236. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
37 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 37 sample titles: 37 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.
