Selected data and study scope

This dataset contains bulk RNA-seq data from Homo sapiens, sampled from whole hypothalamus. The default comparison examines gene expression in Predicted differentiation success relative to Predicted differentiation failure.

The data come from day-15 human iPSC-derived hypothalamus-pituitary organoid cultures. The comparison groups cultures by the study's machine-learning predictions of successful or unsuccessful differentiation. It excludes day-9 libraries to keep the sampled timepoint consistent.

The explorer includes 1 track and 1 comparison for this dataset.

The default track, Hypothalamus-pituitary organoid, includes 4 Predicted differentiation failure samples and 4 Predicted differentiation success samples in this comparison. These are analysis sample counts. Check the source for biological replication and pooling.

Interpretation and limitations

The group labels describe predicted differentiation outcomes. This comparison uses cultured organoids, not human hypothalamic tissue. The source-count analysis shown here excludes two synthetic reporter rows.

These data come from a cell-culture model. Check the cell line or differentiation system and the conditions sampled before interpreting a result.

Expression values are CPM (TMM-normalized): counts per million on library sizes adjusted by the TMM factors of the study’s own edgeR fit. This scale adjusts for library size and composition, not gene length. Use it to inspect a feature across the samples in this analysis. CPM values are not absolute transcript counts.

Evidence and verification

Pipeline QC passed. Human hypothalamus-pituitary organoids — differentiation outcome; all 1 registered contrasts on default track organoid

Experimental design review needed. Human hypothalamus-pituitary organoids — differentiation outcome; all 1 registered contrasts on default track organoid

Author concordance passed. Selected author genes only; success_vs_failure_day15. P values and FDR are contextual. Numerical acceptance: strong correlation and matched-gene direction.

Pipeline QC can pass while experimental-design limitations remain. Read both assessments before interpreting results.

Open the dataset in the Explorer to read each check and its evidence. Author concordance compares effects for matched genes. It does not require identical author P values or FDR.

Source study

Day-15 hiPSC-derived hypothalamus-pituitary-organoid RNA-seq comparing four machine-learning-predicted successful with four failed differentiations. Day-9 libraries are excluded to avoid timepoint mixing, and two synthetic reporter rows are quarantined from the official HTSeq counts (PMID 40763741; GSE301692)
