At a glance

ChIP-seq / ATAC-seq (genome binding and open chromatin) · human · 39 samples

What it is
ChIP-seq / ATAC-seq (genome binding and open chromatin)Where proteins bind the genome, or which regions are open and active.
Organism
Homo sapiens (human)
Samples
39 samples: 6 conditions, mostly with about 12 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)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is frequently driven by GGGGCC short tandem repeat (STR) expansions in C9orf72, yet the mechanisms by which these expansions lead to neurodegeneration remain incompletely understood. Here, we propose a novel mechanism involving higher-order chromatin architecture where C9orf72-STR expansions induce widespread, neuron-specific gains in chromatin loops that are closely linked to transcriptomic dysregulation in ALS.
Read the full summary ↓
These ectopic loops colocalize with the genomic binding sites of C9orf72-STR RNAs and the architectural protein CTCF, supporting a model in which RNA-DNA interactions promote aberrant loop formation.

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 GSE313074_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: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1372757. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 34 samples.

How we read this: 6 replicated groups read from 39 sample titles; they account for 34 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.
