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
16 samples: 4 × WT Meckel's cartilage sample vs 4 × FGFR3Y367C/+ Meckel's cartilage sample vs 4 × WT condylar cartilage sample vs 4 × FGFR3Y367C/+ condylar's cartilage sampleGroups 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)
Meckel's and condylar cartilages are key to mandible development. In achondroplasia, the most common form of genetic dwarfism, abnormalities of these cartilages lead to micrognathia, with significant functional repercussions for affected individuals. Using cartilage laser-microdissection and RNA-seq analyses, we analyzed the genes expressed in these cartilages in a mouse model mimicking achondroplasia and compared the transcriptome of Meckel’s and condylar cartilages from E16.5 embryos of control and Fgfr3Y367C/+ mice.

Over 600 genes were differentially expressed. Our data suggest that dysregulation of several pathways due to Fgfr3 gain-of function mutation constitutes an important underlying mechanism in craniofacial defects observed in achondroplasia.

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 GSE308380_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: 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 PRJNA1330311 and SRA study SRP621289. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 16 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 16 sample titles; they account for 16 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.
