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
18 samples: 6 conditions, mostly in triplicateGroups 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)
Mesangial cells (MCs) and mesangial matrix (MM) constitute the mesangium, which is essential for maintaining normal glomerular structure and function. The mechanisms by which MCs regulate MM dynamics remain poorly understood. This study investigates the role of MC-derived extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) in this process. To elucidate the mechanism, we collected kidney samples from WT and Ecm1-KO mice at each time points (1, 2, and 4 weeks), with n = 3 per group and performed RNA-seq, aiming to capture the dynamic transcriptomic changes underlying the loss of ECM1.

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.

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE309618_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.

Supports a between-group comparison across 18 samples.

How we read this: 6 replicated groups read from 18 sample titles; they account for 18 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.
