What it is
Single-cell RNA-seqGene activity measured in thousands of individual cells, so cell types can be told apart.
Organism
Homo sapiens (human)
Samples
200 samples: 200 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.
Summary (written by the submitters)
Genomic methods for profiling multiple chromatin features face tradeoffs between specificity, sensitivity, and the ability to measure chromatin co-occupancy. As a result, context-dependent interactions between chromatin proteins remain difficult to resolve in rare cell types and primary tissues. Here, we present CoCUT&Tag, which uses synthetic antigen-peptide repeats paired with nanobodies to amplify Tn5 transposase targeting and directly measure co-occupancy of two chromatin features in single cells.

We applied CoCUT&Tag to test the model that bivalent chromatin, marked by the coexistence of H3K27me3 and H3K4 methylation, preserves stem-cell multipotency by keeping developmental genes poised for future activation. Instead, we find that during human hematopoiesis, stem cells are defined by a more active chromatin landscape, whereas lineage-restricted populations contain more bivalent genes. Bivalent and unmarked genes are activated with similar timing, but bivalent genes achieve higher expression, are associated with more numerous and stronger enhancers, and are preferentially derepressed following BMI1 loss. Our study shows that bivalent chromatin increases enhancer demand to enable high-amplitude gene activation, demonstrating that CoCUT&Tag can resolve longstanding questions about combinatorial chromatin regulation.

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 GSE327821_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 PRJNA1452847 and SRA study SRP691388. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
200 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 200 sample titles: 200 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.
