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)
Samples
18 samples: 6 conditions, mostly in triplicateGroups 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
A role for human senataxin in contending with pausing and backtracking during transcript elongationMolecular cell · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Senataxin (SETX) is recognized as a critical regulator of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription and plays a pivotal role in maintaining genomic stability. Despite its importance, the direct in vivo functions of SETX remain inadequately characterized. Employing the degradation tag (dTAG) system for acute protein depletion, we demonstrate that SETX does not influence transcription termination but significantly enhances RNAPII elongation.
Read the full summary ↓
Through in vitro reconstitution assays, we show that SETX actively drives RNAPII forward across complex transcriptional landscapes, akin to the way bacterial ribosomes mitigate transcriptional pauses. In vivo analyses further reveal an accumulation of pausing RNAPII at early transcription stages and a corresponding increase in R-loop formation at these sites following SETX depletion. These insights not only redefine our understanding of SETX's role in transcriptional regulation but also highlight its potential as a therapeutic target in disorders linked to transcriptional dysregulation.

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 GSE297204_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 PRJNA1262997 and SRA study SRP585276. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 18 samples.

How we read this: 6 replicated groups read from 18 sample titles; they account for 18 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.
