RNA-seq (gene expression) · human · 14 samples

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
Homo sapiens (human)
Topic
Colorectal cancerThis series is part of our curated briefing on it.
Samples
14 samples: 14 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.

Downregulation of MGST3 promotes colorectal cancer progressionMolecular and clinical oncology · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignancy worldwide, and its molecular mechanisms of progression remain incompletely understood. In this study, RNA sequencing was performed on colorectal tissues representing normal tissue, adenomas, early-stage tumors and advanced carcinomas to identify differentially expressed genes associated with tumor progression.
Read the full summary ↓
Paired-end RNA-seq data were generated on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. Gene expression levels were quantified and summarized as FPKM values. The resulting dataset provides a transcriptomic resource for investigating molecular changes during colorectal tumorigenesis, including the role of MGST3.

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 GSE316039_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.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1400508 and SRA study SRP661000. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

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

Supports a case/control comparison: 5 samples read as cases, 4 as controls.

How we read this: Read from 14 sample titles: 14 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.
