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
84 samples: 42 × ALS vs 42 × KTGroups 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.

Whole blood transcriptome profile identifies motor neurone disease RNA biomarker signaturesExperimental biology and medicine (Maywood, N.J.) · 2024
Summary (written by the submitters)
(1) Background: Blood-based biomarkers for motor neuron disease are needed for better di-agnosis, progression prediction, and clinical trial monitoring. We used whole blood-derived total RNA and performed whole transcriptome analysis to compare the gene expression pro-files in (motor neurone disease) MND patients to the control subjects.

(2) Methods: We com-pared 42 MND patients to 42 aged and sex-matched healthy controls and described the whole transcriptome profile characteristic for MND. In addition to the formal differential analysis, we performed functional annotation of the genomics data and identified the molecular path-ways that are differentially regulated in MND patients. (3) Results: We identified 12,972 genes differentially expressed in the blood of MND patients compared to age and sex-matched con-trols. Functional genomic annotation identified activation of the pathways related to neuro-degeneration, RNA transcription, RNA splicing and extracellular matrix reorganisation. (4) Conclusions: Blood-based whole transcriptomic analysis can reliably differentiate MND pa-tients from controls and can provide useful information for the clinical management of the disease and clinical trials.

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 GSE277709_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 PRJNA1163403 and SRA study SRP533919. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
42 × ALS vs 42 × KT

Supports a between-group comparison across 84 samples.

How we read this: 2 replicated groups read from 84 sample titles; they account for 84 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.
