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
18 samples: 9 conditions, mostly in duplicateGroups 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)
The conserved aspartic acid residue D661 within the STAT3 SH2 domain is a recurrent mutational hotspot in hematologic malignancies, including T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukaemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. To define the functional consequences of distinct STAT3D661 variants, we integrated computational, structural and in vitro and in vivo genetic approaches.

AlphaMissense and PolyPhen-2 classified all four STAT3D661 variants (D661Y, D661V, D661N and D661H) as pathogenic. ClinVar classified D661Y and D661V as variants of uncertain significance. AlphaFold 3-based modelling predicted that D661Y and D661V strongly promoted SH2-TAD-mediated dimerization, while D661N and D661H exerted weaker structural effects. Functional in vitro assays in Stat3-deficient T cells demonstrated a gain-of-function (GOF) hierarchy of the STAT3 variants (D661Y ≈ V > H > N) resulting in activation of canonical STAT3 target genes and immune transcriptional programs. In vivo, only STAT3D661H mice were viable, displaying reduced CD4+ T cells, expansion of memory CD8+ T cells and enhanced immune gene expression. Collectively, our findings define a gradient of STAT3 D661 GOF variants, consistent with in vitro and in vivo experiments. D661Y and D661V mutants exhibited stronger transcriptional activity in T cells with impaired viability of mice carrying these variants.

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 GSE338662_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 PRJNA1495349 and SRA study SRP718069. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 18 samples.

How we read this: 9 replicated groups read from 18 sample titles; they account for 18 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.
