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
26 samples: 20 distinct titles, 2 of them repeatedGroups 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.
Paper
The origin of hepatocellular carcinoma depends on metabolic zonationScience (New York, N.Y.) · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
The origin of cancer is poorly understood because premalignant cells are rarely followed in their native environments. While the spatial compartmentalization of metabolic functions is critical for proper liver function, it is unknown if cancers arise from some zones but not others, and if there are metabolic determinants of cancer risk.
Read the full summary ↓
Zone-specific, mosaic introduction of Ctnnb1 and Arid2 mutations, commonly co-mutated genes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), showed that position and metabolic context determine clone fates. Ctnnb1/Arid2-driven cancers were much more likely to arise in zone 3. The zone 3 genes Gstm2 and Gstm3 were required for efficient HCC initiation, in part through inhibition of ferroptosis. In the liver, the zonal determinants of HCC development can reveal metabolic vulnerabilities of cancer.

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 GSE308568_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 PRJNA1331557 and SRA study SRP622247. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
20 distinct titles, 2 of them repeated
WT_Cre-BL ×6 GAB294-M ×2

How we read this: Read from 26 sample titles: 20 distinct titles with little repetition. 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.
