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
57 samples: 16 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.

Summary (written by the submitters)
The leukodystrophy Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is caused by myelin protein proteolipid protein gene (PLP1) mutations. PMD is characterized by oligodendrocyte death and CNS hypomyelination; thus, increasing oligodendrocyte survival and enhancing myelination could provide therapeutic benefit. Here, we use the PMD mouse model Jimpy to determine the impact of the integrated stress response (ISR) on the oligodendrocyte response to mutant PLP expression.
Read the full summary ↓
Male Jimpy animals in which the ISR-triggering eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 2α kinase, protein kinase-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), is inactivated have an extended lifespan that correlates with increased oligodendrocyte survival and enhanced CNS myelination. Inactivation of downstream components of the ISR pathway, in contrast, does not rescue oligodendrocytes or myelin. Phosphorylated eIF2α inhibits the exchange factor eIF2B, resulting in diminished protein synthesis. Treatment with small molecule eIF2B activators 2BAct and ISRIB increases oligodendrocyte survival, CNS myelination, and doubled the Jimpy lifespan. These results suggest that ISR modulation could provide therapeutic benefit to PMD patients.

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 GSE277705_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 PRJNA1163390 and SRA study SRP533905. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 56 samples.

How we read this: 16 replicated groups read from 57 sample titles; they account for 56 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.
