Single-cell RNA-seq · human · 12 samples

What it is
Single-cell RNA-seqGene activity measured in thousands of individual cells, so cell types can be told apart.
Organism
Homo sapiens (human)
Samples
12 samples
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.

Agonist signaling drives neutrophil subpopulations to promote/inhibit colorectal cancer liver metastasisNature communications · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Surgical specimens of tumor tissues from 12 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients were included. All cases were consecutively enrolled and cytologically or histologically confirmed as rectal adenocarcinoma by at least two pathologists, with no history of prior neoadjuvant anti-tumor therapy.

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 GSE302903_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 PRJNA1292798 and SRA study SRP601571. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
A cohort of 12 individual samples

The grouping that defines any comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Sample titles run T1 … T12 and carry no group information.
