RNA-seq (gene expression) · human · 73 samples

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
Homo sapiens (human)
Topic
Colorectal cancerThis series is part of our curated briefing on it.
Samples
73 samples: 71 distinct titles, 2 of them repeatedGroups 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
Identification of immunogenic neoantigens from intron retention in colorectal cancerScientific reports · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
Tumour cells often downregulate human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I to evade cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) immunity. Although natural killer (NK) cells target MHC-I-deficient cells, many cancers bypass NK cell-mediated killing through additional immune evasion strategies. Using CRISPR-Cas9 screening, GPC2, a cell surface protein, was identified as a key suppressor of NK cell activity against HLAnull cancer cells. GPC2 is upregulated in several cancers, correlating with poor patient outcomes. In colorectal cancer, GPC2 was found to be inversely correlated with HLA class 1 expression.

This dataset
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 GSE292858_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 PRJNA1241760 and SRA study SRP572980. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

How we read this: Read from 73 sample titles: 71 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.
