What it is
Single-cell RNA-seqGene activity measured in thousands of individual cells, so cell types can be told apart. Read from the summary: GEO's own type field only says 'expression profiling by sequencing', so confirm it in the paper.

Samples
48 samples: 48 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)
Stem-like TCF7+ CD8 T cells sustain anti-tumor responses and support immune checkpoint blockade. We systematically identified regulators of this cell state using genome-wide CRISPR screens in primary T cells in vitro. Using random barcodes to link clonal relationships with guide identity and transcriptional states in single cells, we inferred differentiation trajectories and differentiation rates of CD8 T cells in tumors, while mitigating confounding clonal bias.
Read the full summary ↓
We found that Trim28-deficient T cells in tumors were enriched in the TCF7+ cell state, depleted in cycling and terminal effector states, and uniquely generating a tissue resident memory (TRM)-like state with increased chromatin accessibility at known TRM loci as well as repeat elements. Despite the increase in TCF7+ CD8 T cells, loss of Trim28 did not improve tumor control, likely because of reduced effector differentiation, highlighting the need for tuning the balance and dynamics of stem-like versus effector states for effective tumor clearance.

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.

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE334890_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 PRJNA1476721 and SRA study SRP708207. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
48 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 48 sample titles: 48 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.
