Selected data and study scope

This dataset contains bulk RNA-seq data from Mus musculus, sampled from paraventricular nucleus. The default comparison examines gene expression in HFD relative to Chow.

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

The default track, Paraventricular nucleus (PVN), includes 3 Chow samples and 3 HFD 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 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 paraventricular nucleus — chow vs HFD (bulk RNA-seq); all 1 registered contrasts on default track pvn

Experimental design passed. Mouse paraventricular nucleus — chow vs HFD (bulk RNA-seq); all 1 registered contrasts on default track pvn

Author concordance review needed. Selected author genes only; hfd_vs_chow. 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.
