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
24 samples: 8 × RNA-seq_SDS30_sal vs 8 × RNA-seq_SDS30_dex vs 4 × RNA-seq_con_sal vs 4 × RNA-seq_con_dexGroups 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.
Paper
Phenotype-Specific Transcriptomic Responses to Glucocorticoid Signaling in the Prefrontal Cortex and Dorsal Raphe Nucleus Following Chronic Social StressInternational journal of molecular sciences · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
Chronic stress often leads to the development of various psychopathologies and is usually associated with a change in the function of the HPA axis. An elevated level of glucocorticoid (GC) hormones in the blood initially causes an acute reaction of the body, which subsequently fades, even with continued stimulation with glucocorticoids.

It is known that the degree of resistance to elevated hormone levels can affect the effectiveness of therapy in the treatment of stress-induced psychopathologies. In order to identify the molecular basis for the formation of GC resistance, we analyzed the effect of chronic social stress on the transcriptome of the prefrontal cortex in an experimental model of depression. We assessed the level of gene expression in the prefrontal cortex of the control C57BL/6 mice and mice with stress experience for 30 days, both in the basal state and with additional stimulation with dexamethasone. The introduction of dexamethasone made it possible to simulate the situation of an increase in the level of glucocorticoids and activation of the glucocorticoid receptor.

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 GSE330674_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 PRJNA846517 and SRA study SRP382208. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
8 × RNA-seq_SDS30_sal vs 8 × RNA-seq_SDS30_dex vs 4 × RNA-seq_con_sal vs 4 × RNA-seq_con_dex

Supports a between-group comparison across 24 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 24 sample titles; they account for 24 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.
