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
167 samples: 41 conditions, mostly with about 4 replicates eachGroups 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)
Transcription factor cooperation is essential for specifying the heterogeneous dendritic cell (DC) lineages that orchestrate adaptive immunity, yet how it drives subset diversification remains poorly understood. Here, we employed a sequential anchored screen of 70 transcription factors using direct cellular reprogramming to identify regulators that specify type 2 conventional DCs (cDC2s) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs).

We identified PU.1, IRF4, and PRDM1 as inducers of a pro-inflammatory cDC2B-like fate and SPIB, IRF8, and IKZF2 as mediators of an immature lymphoid DC program. Transcriptomic profiling linked these triads to lineage-specific signatures and demonstrated their requirement for subset identity. Mechanistically, lineage divergence was driven by chromatin co-engagement at subset-specific sites early in reprogramming. Functionally, reprogrammed DCs employed distinct immune mechanisms to elicit orthogonal anti-tumor responses in different tumor models. Collectively, our findings uncover transcriptional circuits that control DC diversification and pave the way to generate patient-tailored DC subsets for cancer immunotherapy.

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.

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE293874_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.

Supports a between-group comparison across 167 samples.

How we read this: 41 replicated groups read from 167 sample titles; they account for 167 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.
