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)
Topic
Ovarian cancerThis series is part of our curated briefing on it.
Samples
24 samples: 8 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.

Summary (written by the submitters)
G-quadruplexes are secondary DNA structures which have been shown to have an impact on gene transcription via a variety of mechanisms, In this study we generate RNA-seq data of wildtype chemotherpay sensitive (PEO1 A) and chemostherapy resistant (PEO4 A) ovarian cancer cells to intersect with G-quadruplex mapping data to assess how transcription is impacted by G-quadruplex formation.

In another variation of the PEO1/4 cell line, in which the PEO1 B cell line has a reversion mutation to reinstate BRCA2, we used the G-quadruplex stabilising molecule pyridostatin (PDS) to treat PEO1 B and its counterpart PEO4 B for either 0, 2 or 6 hours to see how stabilising G-quadruplexes effects gene expression in a temporal manner.

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 GSE279501_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 PRJNA1173150 and SRA study SRP538663. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 24 samples.

How we read this: 8 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.
