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
14 samples: 5 × Hippocampus, IH group (oxygen alternating between 10-21% in 2-minute cycles, 8 hours/day), vs 5 × Hippocampus, sustained hypoxia group (SH) (10% oxygen, 8 hours/day), vs 4 × Hippocampus, control group (21% oxygen, 28 days),Groups 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)
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by cycles of decreased blood oxygen saturation followed by reoxygenation due to transient apnea. Cognitive dysfunction is a complication of OSAS, but its mechanisms remain unclear. 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice were exposed to intermittent hypoxia (IH) to model OSAS, and cognitive function and hippocampal gene expression were analyzed.

Three groups were maintained for 28 days: IH group (oxygen alternating between 10-21% in 2-minute cycles, 8 hours/day), sustained hypoxia group (SH) (10% oxygen, 8 hours/day), and control group (21% oxygen). Behavioral tests and RNA-seq analysis were performed. While Y-maze results showed no differences, the IH group demonstrated impaired memory and learning in passive avoidance tests compared to control and SH groups. RNA-seq revealed specific changes in learning/memory-related genes and oxidative stress response genes in the IH group. RT-qPCR showed decreased Lars2, Hmcn1, and Vstm2l expression in the IH group. Pathway analysis showed the suppression of the KEAP1-NFE2L2 antioxidant pathway in the IH group vs. SH group. Our findings demonstrate that IH may cause cognitive dysfunction through oxidative stress and suppressed antioxidant defenses. IH-specific downregulation of Lars2, Hmcn1, and Vstm2l may contribute to OSAS-related cognitive impairment.

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 GSE299437_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 PRJNA1274422 and SRA study SRP591055. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
5 × Hippocampus, IH group (oxygen alternating between 10-21% in 2-minute cycles, 8 hours/day), vs 5 × Hippocampus, sustained hypoxia group (SH) (10% oxygen, 8 hours/day), vs 4 × Hippocampus, control group (21% oxygen, 28 days),

Supports a between-group comparison across 14 samples.

How we read this: 3 replicated groups read from 14 sample titles; they account for 14 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.
