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
24 samples: 24 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.

Summary (written by the submitters)
Loss-of-function variants of the ABCA7 gene are associated with the increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). How neuronal ABCA7 contributes to AD pathogenesis is unknown. Using neuron-specific Abca7 knockout mice (nAbca7−/−) with or without 5×FAD amyloid model background and postmortem AD brains, we investigated AD-related phenotypes through comprehensive approaches including transcriptomics and lipidomics.

Lipidomics analysis detected altered lipid profiles in the brains and synaptosomes of 5×FAD; nAbca7−/− mice compared to controls. Transcriptomics profiling revealed that neuronal ABCA7 deficiency altered the expression of genes and pathways related to mitochondrial homeostasis and apoptosis, particularly in excitatory neurons. Consistently, synaptosomes isolated from 5×FAD; nAbca7−/− mice showed diminished mitochondria respiration and reduced synaptic protein levels, which are further supported by results from human AD brains. Our findings reveal that neuronal ABCA7 plays a critical role in mitochondrial homeostasis important for neuronal function and survival in the presence of AD pathology.

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 GSE291086_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 PRJNA1231531 and SRA study SRP567912. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
24 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 24 sample titles: 24 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.
