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
12 samples: 4 × Eosplus Treg vs 4 × Eosminus Treg vs 4 × TconvGroups 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.

Eos plays a critical role in Treg homeostasis and modulates the function of recirculating thymic Tregs in the control of Treg developmentCell reports · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
Eos, a member of the Ikaros family of transcription factors, is expressed by T regulatory cells (Tregs) and has been postulated to play a role in Treg suppression and maintenance of Treg stability. We demonstrate that expression of Eos was limited to a subpopulation of thymus-derived, activated Tregs and is undetectable in resting or activated T conventional cells (Tconvs).
Read the full summary ↓
Eos associates with Helios, Foxp3 and Hdac1 and binds directly to the CD25 locus at a site identical to the Foxp3 binding site resulting in enhancement of CD25 expression. Studies in heterozygous female mice demonstrate that Eos is critical for Treg survival and activation. Eos+ Tregs also represent the major population of recirculating thymic Tregs, in which Eos plays a critical role in regulating their migration and suppression of Treg precursors in the thymus by competing for IL-2 and depleting MHC II from thymic dendritic cells (DCs).

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 GSE305409_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 PRJNA1305478 and SRA study SRP608740. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
4 × Eosplus Treg vs 4 × Eosminus Treg vs 4 × Tconv

Supports a between-group comparison across 12 samples.

How we read this: 3 replicated groups read from 12 sample titles; they account for 12 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.
