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
Homo sapiens (human)
Samples
85 samples: 84 distinct titles, 1 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.

Transcriptomes of higher order thalamic nuclei in obsessive compulsive disorderJournal of affective disorders · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a severe psychiatric illness associated with hyperactivity and hyperconnectivity in corticostriatalthalamocortical circuits of the prefrontal cortex. We previously identified dysregulated mRNA expression in the medial orbitofrontal cortex and striatum of subjects with OCD, affecting a wide range of processes and cell types.
Read the full summary ↓
The purpose of this study was to examine OCD-related differential expression in the thalamus, using a postmortem cohort of 10 subjects with OCD and 11 unaffected comparison subjects. Tissue was collected from four higher-order thalamic nuclei: the mediodorsal magnocellular (MDmc), mediodorsal parvocellular (MDpc), ventral anterior (VA), and ventrolateral posterior (VLp) nuclei.

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 GSE272200_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 PRJNA1135666 and SRA study SRP519772. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

How we read this: Read from 85 sample titles: 84 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.
