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
120 samples: 120 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)
Early embryogenesis and cellular differentiation require complex choreography between nuclear and cytoplasmic pathways. Through integrative analysis and a short open reading frame functional screen, sORF-seq, we identified lncPRESS1, a bifunctional long-non-coding RNA that also encodes a microprotein. In the nucleus, lncPRESS1 binds BRG1 to regulate chromatin remodeling and modulate the expression of pluripotency and differentiation genes.
Read the full summary ↓
In the cytoplasm, lncPRESS1 is translated into a microprotein that binds to IFT57, regulating ciliogenesis and SHH signaling pathways to control lineage commitment. Together, these results reveal a novel mechanism where the dual functions of lncPRESS1 simultaneously coordinate chromatin remodeling and signaling pathways. This coordination co-regulates the initial developmental decisions specifying neuroectoderm and mesoderm fates during human embryonic development, underscoring the underappreciated complexity of multifunctional RNAs.

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 GSE275690_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.

Raw reads on ENA ↗

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 PRJNA1152577 and SRA study SRP528750. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
120 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 120 sample titles: 120 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.
