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

111 samples: 20 conditions, mostly with about 4 replicates eachGroups 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)
Nucleophosmin (NPM1), a nucleolar protein frequently mutated in haematopoietic malignancies, is overexpressed in several solid tumours with poorly understood functional roles. Here, we demonstrate that Npm1 is upregulated following APC loss in WNT-responsive tissues and supports WNT-driven intestinal and liver tumourigenesis. Mechanistically, NPM1 loss induces ribosome pausing and accumulation at the 5’-end of coding sequences, triggering a protein synthesis stress response and p53 activation, which mediate this anti-tumourigenic effect.
Read the full summary ↓
Collectively, our data identify NPM1 as a critical WNT effector that sustains WNT-driven hyperproliferation and tumourigenesis by attenuating the integrated stress response (ISR) and p53 activation. Notably, NPM1 expression correlates with elevated WNT signalling and proliferation in human colorectal cancer (CRC), while CRCs harbouring NPM1 deletions exhibit preferential TP53 inactivation, underscoring the clinical relevance of our findings. Being dispensable for adult epithelial homeostasis, NPM1 represents a promising therapeutic target in p53-proficient WNT-driven tumours, including treatment-refractory KRAS-mutant CRC, and hepatic cancers.

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 GSE309379_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 PRJNA1335271 and SRA study SRP628595. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 111 samples.

How we read this: 20 replicated groups read from 111 sample titles; they account for 111 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.
