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

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)
Transcriptional remodeling in fasting assures metabolic adaptation that provides health benefits across species1-5. While the regulators of transcription and chromatin organization in fasting are known6-10, how lack of nutrients impacts RNA Pol II (RNAPII) and epigenetic writers remains unclear. Surprisingly, we find that class 3 Phosphatidyl inositol-3 kinase (PI3K-3) lipid kinase, a master regulator of autophagy11, is present at chromatin where it co-activates epigenetic writers for transcriptional activation.

To this end, the chromatin distribution of PI3K-3 largely overlapped with transcriptionally engaged RNAPII phosphorylated on Ser5 (RNAPII-S5p) and Setd1a/COMPASS, the transcription activating H3K4me3 methyltransferase complex12. Mechanistically, nuclear PI3K-3 interacted with RNAPII and the Set1a/COMPASS transcriptional complexes and facilitated their binding. Accordingly, PI3K-3 deletion resulted in lower H3K4me3 and RNAPII-S5p enrichment at selective loci. Conversely, PI3K-3 overexpression co-activated acetyltransferase p300/CBP while chromatin targeting of PI3K-3 promoted H3K4me3 deposition. In starved cells, PI3K-3 was needed for the transcriptional induction of autophagy-related genes, and in fasted liver, it was critical for metabolic shift, such as ketogenesis and lipid degradation. Thus, PI3K-3 couples nutrient availability to chromatin remodeling enabling adaptive transcriptional activation during nutrient stress.

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 GSE320350_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 PRJNA1427638 and SRA study SRP679016. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
3 × MEF WT, basal, vs 3 × MEF Vps15KO, basal, vs 3 × MEF WT, EBSS2h, vs 3 × MEF Vps15KO, EBSS2h,

Supports a between-group comparison across 12 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 12 sample titles; they account for 12 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.
