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)
We systematically investigate interactions between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transcriptional regulators (vTRs) and the human genome. Starting with 16 known and candidate vTRs, we identify nine whose introduction into human cells results in substantial alterations to host gene expression. Genome-scale determination of vTR genomic binding events and alterations to chromatin accessibility reveals a detailed map of EBV's functional interactions with the human genome, including >100,000 vTR binding events impacting almost a quarter of all human genes.

BMRF1 emerges as a potent regulator, impacting >7,000 genes and altering >37,000 chromatin regions. Our results provide new evidence that EBV RTA interacts with and stabilizes the binding of human RBPJ. Network analysis reveals that many human genes are targeted by multiple EBV vTRs, highlighting the vast coordinated impact of EBV on human gene expression. This study provides a valuable, extensive resource for examining EBV-induced alterations to human gene regulation, with data available on multiple platforms.

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 GSE303329_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.

Raw reads on ENA ↗

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1294840 and SRA study SRP602723. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
