What it is
Single-cell RNA-seqGene activity measured in thousands of individual cells, so cell types can be told apart.
Organism
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
13 samples: 7 × CT vs 6 × KOGroups 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
NPAS4 Depletion in POMC Neurons Protects From Obesity and Alters the Feeding-regulated Transcriptome in Male MiceEndocrinology · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Immediate Early Genes such as Npas4 are induced as part of the rapid response to environmental stimuli to regulate future transcription. The hypothalamus is made up of distinct neuronal populations and nuclei that regulate homeostatic processes such as POMC neurons that regulate feeding. To date, specific roles of Immediate Early Genes have not been studied in POMC neurons or any other hypothalamic population.
Read the full summary ↓
Here, we have generated a single cell transcriptomic dataset from the hypothalami of adult male mice that were fed a 60% high fat diet for 6 weeks after Npas4 gene knockout specifically in POMC neurons, with or without a 1 hour refeed after an overnight fast. Our aim was to use this dataset to identify genes that are rapidly regulated by refeeding within 1 hour, as well as potential long-term transcriptomic differences as a result of the Npas4 knockout, in the general POMC neuron population.

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 GSE293937_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 PRJNA1247472 and SRA study SRP576916. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
7 × CT vs 6 × KO

Supports a between-group comparison across 13 samples.

How we read this: 2 replicated groups read from 13 sample titles; they account for 13 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.
