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

Samples
18 samples: 6 conditions, mostly in triplicateGroups 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.

Cohesin-mediated chromatin organization controls the differentiation and function of dendritic cellsScience immunology · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
Antiviral type I interferons (IFN-I) including IFN-β and multiple subtypes of IFN-α are encoded within a single locus. Whereas most cell types produce primarily IFN-β, plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) respond to viruses by rapidly producing all IFN-I subtypes. We show that during pDC differentiation, the IFN-I locus translocates from the nuclear periphery and undergoes reorganization of topologically associated domains (TADs).
Read the full summary ↓
Accordingly, IFN-I production by pDCs was strictly dependent on the TAD-organizing cohesin complex. Promoters of Ifna genes in pDCs were poised, which was imparted by the pDC-enriched transcription factor IRF8. Finally, we identified two distal regulatory regions that facilitated the expression of adjacent IFN-I genes. Thus, the IFN-I response is controlled by multilevel chromatin organization of the IFN-I locus, including its unique poised state in pDCs.

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 GSE277424_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 PRJNA1162152 and SRA study SRP533241. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 18 samples.

How we read this: 6 replicated groups read from 18 sample titles; they account for 18 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.
