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
28 samples: 28 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groupsGroups 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.

CEBPA repression by MECOM blocks differentiation to drive aggressive leukemiasBlood · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) have an overall poor prognosis and many high-risk cases co-opt stem cell gene regulatory programs, yet the mechanisms through which this occurs remain poorly understood. Increased expression of the stem cell transcription factor, MECOM, underlies one key driver mechanism in largely incurable AMLs. How MECOM results in such aggressive AML phenotypes remains unknown.
Read the full summary ↓
To address existing experimental limitations, we engineered and applied targeted protein degradation with functional genomic readouts to demonstrate that MECOM promotes malignant stem cell-like states by directly repressing pro-differentiation gene regulatory programs. Remarkably and unexpectedly, a single node in this network, a MECOM-interacting regulatory element located 42 kb downstream of the myeloid differentiation regulator CEBPA is both necessary and sufficient for MECOM-driven leukemogenesis. Importantly, targeted activation of this regulatory element promotes differentiation of these aggressive AMLs and reduces leukemia burden in vivo, suggesting a broadly applicable differentiation-based approach for improving therapy.

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 GSE284558_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 PRJNA1199531 and SRA study SRP552091. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
28 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 28 sample titles: 28 distinct titles with little repetition. 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.
