Mouse preoptic sex differences
Mus musculus · Preoptic area · scRNA-seq
Selected data and study scope
This dataset contains scRNA-seq data from Mus musculus, sampled from preoptic area. The default comparison examines gene expression in Male pools relative to Female pools.
The explorer includes 1 track and 1 comparison for this dataset.
The default track, Preoptic cells, includes 3 Female pools samples and 3 Male pools samples in this comparison. These are analysis sample counts. Check the source for biological replication and pooling.
Interpretation and limitations
The source assay profiles individual cells. The track and sample counts shown here describe the analysis used for the comparison. Cell counts do not replace independent biological replicates.
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. Mouse preoptic sex differences; all 1 registered tracks and 1 comparisons
Experimental design passed. Mouse preoptic sex differences; all 1 registered tracks and 1 comparisons
Author concordance not assessed. Author effect concordance has not been assessed
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
Three independent female pools and three independent male pools, each containing three mice. GEO explicitly maps matrix barcode suffixes 1-6 to the six pools. Cells are summed within each pool; the 18 mice do not provide 18 independent transcriptomic replicates. This track aggregates all submitted preoptic cell types.
The original study authors produced these data. HypoExplorer displays selected data and analyses that may cover only part of the study.
Comparisons in HypoExplorer
Male vs female pools · default
Positive differential-expression values indicate higher expression in the case group relative to the baseline. Check the comparison direction and study design when interpreting results.
