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.

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)
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous gamma-herpesvirus that persists as a chronic, asymptomatic infection in over 90% of the adult human population. EBV infections are mainly asymptomatic and subside due to a vigorous host T cell response with the virus transitioning to latency in a subset of memory B cells. Failure to control latent EBV infection can result in a variety of EBV-associated malignancies, including lymphoproliferative diseases in immunocompromised people.

Studies in both experimental models and humans suggest that NK cells are critical in the host defense against EBV. In this study we utulized scRNA-seq to better understand the phenotype of NK cells that respond to EBV-infected B cells. We generated a panel of EBV+ lymphoblastoid cell lines (EBV+ LCL) and performed coculture experiments with primary NK cells and their autologous EBV+ LCL using 10x Genomics scRNA-seq. Subsequent analyses following alignment and data processing were completed in Python.

This dataset
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 GSE314298_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 PRJNA1390684 and SRA study SRP656404. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
