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
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
19 samples: 9 conditions, mostly in duplicateGroups 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.
Paper
KLF family members control expression of genes required for tissue macrophage identitiesThe Journal of experimental medicine · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Tissue-resident macrophages adopt distinct gene expression profiles and exhibit functional specialization based on their tissue of residence. Recent studies have begun to define the signals and transcription factors that induce these identities. Here we describe an unexpected and specific role for the broadly expressed transcription factor Kruppel-like Factor 2 (KLF2) in the development of embryonically derived Large Cavity Macrophages (LCM) in the serous cavities.
Read the full summary ↓
KLF2 not only directly regulates the transcription of genes previously shown to specify LCM identity, such as retinoic acid receptors and GATA6, but also is required for induction of many other transcripts that define the identity of these cells. We identify a similar role for KLF4 in regulating the identity of alveolar macrophages in the lung. These data demonstrate that broadly expressed transcription factors, such as Group 2 KLFs, can play important roles in the specification of distinct identities of tissue-resident macrophages.

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 GSE288281_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 PRJNA1216670 and SRA study SRP560489. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 19 samples.

How we read this: 9 replicated groups read from 19 sample titles; they account for 19 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.
