What it is
Single-cell RNA-seqGene activity measured in thousands of individual cells, so cell types can be told apart. Read from the summary: GEO's own type field only says 'expression profiling by sequencing', so confirm it in the paper.
Organism
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
12 samples: 3 × L-cDC1_sample vs 3 × L-cDC2_sample vs 3 × M-cDC1_sample vs 3 × M-cDC2_sampleGroups 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)
Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) regulate adaptive immunity. Although cDCs emerged with the evolution of adaptive immunity, it is considered that most cDCs are of myeloid origin (M-cDCs). Using a lymphoid progenitor-tracking system, we identify novel cDCs of lymphoid origin (L-cDCs) in a steady state. Notably, L-cDC2s are predominantly distributed in barrier tissues such as the lungs and skin.
Read the full summary ↓
Single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that the distribution and gene expression patterns of L-cDC clusters are very similar to M-cDC clusters, except for the enrichment of lymphocyte-signature genes in L-cDCs. Importantly, we identified lymphoid-derived pre-DCs and lymphocyte-primed cDC precursors as sources of L-cDCs. Compared with M-cDC2s, L-cDC2s weakly primed T cells under low-dose antigen stimulation and preferentially promoted Th2 differentiation under sufficient antigenic stimulation. These results suggest the developmental diversity of cDCs and imply the contribution of L-cDCs to tolerance and hyper-responses to Th2-related antigens in barrier tissues.

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 GSE272472_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 PRJNA1136942 and SRA study SRP520557. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
3 × L-cDC1_sample vs 3 × L-cDC2_sample vs 3 × M-cDC1_sample vs 3 × M-cDC2_sample

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.
