Summary (written by the submitters)
During oocyte maturation, the transition from a non-surrounded nucleolus (NSN) to a surrounded nucleolus (SN) stage coincides with dramatic chromatin reconfiguration and transcriptional silencing and is crucial for developmental competence. To study the transcriptome and DNA methylation dynamics during the NSN to SN transition we used single cell (sc)M&T-seq to generate scRNA-seq and sc bisulphite-seq data from GV oocytes, classified as NSN or SN by Hoechst staining of their nuclei.

Transcriptome analysis showed a lower number of detected transcripts in SN oocytes as well as downregulation of 576 genes, which were enriched for processes related to mRNA processing. We used the RNA-seq data to generate a classifier, which can infer chromatin stage in scRNA-seq data sets, based on their transcription profile. The classifier was successfully tested in multiple published datasets of mouse models with a known skew in NSN:SN ratios. DNA methylation analysis showed increased methylation in SN compared to NSN oocytes, which was most pronounced in regions with intermediate levels of DNA methylation. Overlap with ChIP-seq data for the histone modifications H3K36me3, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 showed that regions gaining methylation in SN oocytes are enriched for overlapping H3K36me3 and H3K27me3, which is unusual as these marks do not typically coincide. We believe that these late-methylating SN regions are in regions with high chromatin plasticity and that the overlap of H3K36me3 and H3K27me3 may indicate a transient switch or heterogeneity on a single-cell level.

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 GSE274327_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: Look for beta-value tables or raw IDAT files among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1145971 and SRA study SRP525058. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
26 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 26 sample titles: 26 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.
