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
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
12 samples: 4 × WT vs 4 × MUT vs 4 × KOGroups 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)
Haploinsufficiency of the gene progranulin (GRN) is a major cause of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), for which there are no effective therapies. We developed a novel strain of mice expressing a human GRN transgene bearing a four base pair deletion in exon 5 (GRNc.388_391delCAGT) that causes FTD. Characterization of mice expressing the mutant transgene (GRNmEx5) indicates that GRNmEx5 is expressed at low levels and retains partial function.
Read the full summary ↓
The GRNmEx5 protein partially rescues progranulin nullizygous-associated neuropathology and transcriptomic dysfunction. The Grn-/-; GRNmEx5 model provides insight into progranulin biology, increases our understanding of a pathogenic variant that causes FTD, and facilitates the development of GRN gene therapies.

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 GSE328109_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 PRJNA1453934 and SRA study SRP692085. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
4 × WT vs 4 × MUT vs 4 × KO

Supports a between-group comparison across 12 samples.

How we read this: 3 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.
