What it is
Single-cell RNA-seqGene activity measured in thousands of individual cells, so cell types can be told apart.
Organism
Homo sapiens (human)
Samples
48 samples: 24 × chip 1 pool vs 24 × chip 2 poolGroups 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)
This study examines the T cell landscape in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) using single-cell RNA sequencing combined with T cell receptor and protein profiling. By analyzing tumor-infiltrating T cells from 28 patients, we identified diverse T cell subsets, characterized their transcriptional states, and mapped their clonal dynamics.

These findings provide a detailed view of the immune microenvironment in HNSCC and offer insights into T cell-mediated immunity and potential targets for immunotherapy and are patient-matched to PBMC TCR sequencing and Xenium spatial transcriptomics in separate GEO submissions.

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 GSE287301_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: Single-cell studies usually ship their counts as 10x files (matrix.mtx, barcodes.tsv, features.tsv), an .h5 file, or an .rds / .h5ad object that Seurat or Scanpy can open. Look for those among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1212073 and SRA study SRP558177. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
24 × chip 1 pool vs 24 × chip 2 pool

Supports a between-group comparison across 48 samples.

How we read this: 2 replicated groups read from 48 sample titles; they account for 48 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.
