What it is
Single-cell RNA-seqGene activity measured in thousands of individual cells, so cell types can be told apart. Read from the summary: GEO's own type field only says 'expression profiling by sequencing', so confirm it in the paper.

DNMT1-mediated regulation of somatostatin-positive interneuron migration impacts cortical architecture and functionNature communications · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
During cerebral cortex development, neural stem cells (NSCs) require precise spatiotemporal signals to acquire the correct cell identity at the exact moment. Even though epigenetic regulation plays a central role in cell fate decisions, the exact mechanisms remain elusive. Thus, we focus our research on the H3K79 methyltransferase DOT1L, a key player in cell fate decisions.
Read the full summary ↓
Our group has shown that DOT1L prevents NSC premature differentiation by increasing expression of genes that regulate asymmetric cell division (Franz et al. 2019). Using cell-lineage tracing and pharmacological inhibition, we confirmed that when DOT1L is inhibited apical progenitors (APs) switch to symmetric neurogenic divisions in detriment of asymmetric self-renewal (Appiah et al. 2023). We now analyse conditional knockout (cKO) and control (WT) mice for DOT1L using Emx1-Cre line during cortical mid-neurogenesis (E14.5) using single cell RNA-seq to understand how the transcriptome changes.

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 GSE291845_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 PRJNA1235617 and SRA study SRP570184. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
