Single-cell RNA-seq · human · 11 samples

What it is
Single-cell RNA-seqGene activity measured in thousands of individual cells, so cell types can be told apart.
Organism
Homo sapiens (human)
Samples
11 samples: 6 × sorted Tscm cells, RA vs 5 × sorted Tscm cells, HCGroups 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
JAK-STAT3-MYC axis defines pathogenic stem cell-like memory CD4(+) T cells in rheumatoid arthritisClinical immunology (Orlando, Fla.) · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
Stem cell–like memory T (Tscm) cells are a subset of T cells with self-renewal capacity and multipotent differentiation potential upon antigen stimulation. Tscm cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. In this study, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing using the 10x Genomics platform on Tscm cells enriched by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS).

Our objective was to characterize the transcriptomic signatures of Tscm cells in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to identify disease-specific features that may contribute to RA pathogenesis and progression.

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 GSE309906_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: Single-cell studies usually ship their counts as 10x files (matrix.mtx, barcodes.tsv, features.tsv), an .h5 file, or an .rds / .h5ad object that Seurat or Scanpy can open. Look for those among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1363977 and SRA study SRP644508. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
6 × sorted Tscm cells, RA vs 5 × sorted Tscm cells, HC

Supports a between-group comparison across 11 samples.

How we read this: 2 replicated groups read from 11 sample titles; they account for 11 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.
