What it is
Single-cell RNA-seqGene activity measured in thousands of individual cells, so cell types can be told apart. Read from the summary: GEO's own type field only says 'expression profiling by sequencing', so confirm it in the paper.
Organism
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
20 samples: 20 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groupsGroups 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.

Meiotic prophase I disruption as a strategy for nonhormonal male contraception using small-molecule inhibitor JQ1Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
The small-molecule bromodomain inhibitor JQ1 transiently suppresses spermatogenesis by targeting BRDT, a testis-specific transcriptional regulator required for meiotic and post-meiotic differentiation. To define the transcriptional and cellular consequences of JQ1 exposure and recovery, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of mouse testes collected from untreated controls, JQ1-treated males, and recovery cohorts following treatment withdrawal.
Read the full summary ↓
This dataset includes 15 libraries representing all experimental groups and captures germ cell and somatic populations spanning spermatogonial, meiotic, and spermiogenic stages. The data provide a comprehensive transcriptional atlas of JQ1-induced meiotic disruption and subsequent restoration of spermatogenesis, supporting mechanistic and contraceptive studies of BRDT inhibition.

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 GSE310340_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

All supplementary files ↗ Whole study · RAW.tar ↓
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: 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 PRJNA1365788 and SRA study SRP646619. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
20 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 20 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.
