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
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
24 samples: 6 conditions, mostly with about 4 replicates eachGroups 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.
Paper
The antiviral BDGR-49 provides protection from lethal, neurotropic Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus intranasal infection in miceJournal of virology · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Venezuelan, Western and Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus (VEEV, WEEV and EEEV), genus Alphavirus, causes a febrile illness that may result in fatal neurological disease which has no FDA-approved antivirals for the prevention or treatment. To address this gap, we developed a novel brain-penetrant, small molecule, BDGR-49, which when administered subcutaneously at 6 mg/kg twice per day for 6 days conferred 100% protection against a lethal intranasal challenge of VEEV Trinidad donkey (TrD) in BALB/c mouse model.

By eight days post-infection (dpi), viral load in the brain of BDGR-49-treated mice was significantly reduced whereas TrD-infected, sham-treated mice succumbed to disease on 5 dpi. Analysis of the host responses in the brains of VEEV TrD-infected, BDGR-49-treated, mice resulted in a significant reduction in expression of genes in pathways associated with inflammation and cell death.

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 GSE277300_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 PRJNA1161688 and SRA study SRP533001. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 24 samples.

How we read this: 6 replicated groups read from 24 sample titles; they account for 24 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.
