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
12 samples: 3 × 456-HOXD vs 3 × 451-HOXD vs 3 × 455-HOXDGroups 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)
We previously demonstrated that Homeobox (HOX) transcription factors are differentially expressed between joint locations and can accurately assign synovial fibroblasts (SFs) to their correct joint location. We show here that the expression of the 5’HOXD transcription factors HOXD10, HOXD11, and HOXD13 in SFs strikingly overlaps with predilection sites for the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Read the full summary ↓
Changes in SFs gene expression after silencing 5’HOXDs aligned with joint-specific differences of RA SFs. In particular, we identify HOXD13 as regulator or primary cilia function in SFs modulating cell cycle, DNA damage and proteasome activity. Accordingly, we show joint specific differences in primary cilia morphology, DNA damage repair and proteasome activity. We thus propose that HOXD13 and primary cilia play a role in shaping joint-specific SFs functions that might underlie the pathognomic pattern of joint involvement in RA.

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 GSE284057_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 PRJNA1196917 and SRA study SRP550824. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
3 × 456-HOXD vs 3 × 451-HOXD vs 3 × 455-HOXD

Supports a between-group comparison across 9 samples.

How we read this: 3 replicated groups read from 12 sample titles; they account for 9 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.
