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: 6 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)
Maternal separation (MS) stress in early life was established as a model of triggering lifelong mental disorders. It can disrupt the gut-brain axis (GBA) and induce neurobiological illnesses in the adult stage. Diverse probiotics were utilized to reverse the encountered alterations. However, the employment of heat-killed Enterococcus faecalis (EC-12) to reverse the psychological abnormalities following MS has not been investigated yet.

Hence, we aim to study the effectiveness of EC-12 as a potential therapy for MS mice. Our study illustrates the potential use of heat-killed EC-12 as a novel Para-Probiotic that could reverse the social abnormalities induced at the adult stage by exposure to MS in early life.

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 GSE296684_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 PRJNA1258552 and SRA study SRP583404. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 21 samples.

How we read this: 6 replicated groups read from 24 sample titles; they account for 21 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.
