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)
Abnormal placentation drives many pregnancy-related pathologies and poor fetal outcomes, but the underlying molecular causes are understudied. Here, we show that persistent replication stress due to mutations in the MCM2-7 replicative helicase disrupts placentation and reduces embryo viability in mice. MCM-deficient embryos exhibited normal morphology but their placentae had a drastically diminished junctional zone (JZ).

Whereas cell proliferation in the labyrinth zone (LZ) remained unaffected, JZ cell proliferation was reduced, independent of cell death during early development. Mouse trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) with high genomic instability failed to maintain stemness, suggesting that replication stress affects the initial trophoblast progenitor pool in a manner that preferentially impacts the developing JZ. Genetically increasing chromatin-bound MCM levels in the mutants rescued placental defects and embryo viability. Developing female mice deficient for FANCM, a protein involved in replication-associated DNA repair, also had placentae with a diminished JZ. These findings indicate that replication stress-induced genomic instability compromises embryo outcomes by impairing placentation.

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 GSE290784_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 PRJNA1230107 and SRA study SRP567050. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
