Selected data and study scope

This dataset contains bulk RNA-seq data from Rattus norvegicus, sampled from supraoptic nucleus. The default comparison examines gene expression in 125 days old relative to 35 days old.

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

The default track, Supraoptic nucleus, includes 4 35 days old samples and 4 125 days old samples in this comparison. These are analysis sample counts. Check the source for biological replication and pooling.

Interpretation and limitations

The measurement combines expression from the cells in the tissue sample. A difference in tissue expression alone does not identify which cell type contributes to it.

Expression values use log2(DESeq2-normalized count + 1). Keep this unit when exporting or comparing values. Values on other normalization scales are not directly interchangeable.

Evidence and verification

Pipeline QC passed. Rat supraoptic nucleus — age-dependent transcriptome; all 1 registered contrasts on default track son

Experimental design passed. Rat supraoptic nucleus — age-dependent transcriptome; all 1 registered contrasts on default track son

Author concordance passed. Matched gene effects; age_125d_vs_35d. P values and FDR are contextual. Numerical acceptance: 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

Supraoptic-nucleus RNA-seq comparing four 125-day with four 35-day male Sprague-Dawley-rat biological pools, each pooling four animals. Only RNA-seq SubSeries GSE231616 is retained from mixed SuperSeries GSE231617; its methylation SubSeries is excluded, and official DESeq2-normalized counts are analyzed as log2(x+1) (PMID 37711995; GSE231617)
