Selected data and study scope

This dataset contains bulk RNA-seq data from Sus scrofa, sampled from whole hypothalamus. The default comparison examines gene expression in Pure Iberian relative to Iberian × Large White.

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

The default track, Whole hypothalamus, includes 10 Iberian × Large White samples and 10 Pure Iberian 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(author-normalized expression + 1). Keep this unit when exporting or comparing values. Values on other normalization scales are not directly interchangeable.

Evidence and verification

Pipeline QC review needed. Pig hypothalamus — Iberian genotype; all 1 registered contrasts on default track hypothalamus

Experimental design review needed. Pig hypothalamus — Iberian genotype; all 1 registered contrasts on default track hypothalamus

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

Whole-hypothalamus RNA-seq comparing ten pure Iberian with ten Iberian × Large White pigs at two months, balanced five female and five male per genotype and adjusted for sex. GEO-described normalized expression is transformed as log2(x+1); five HTSeq summary rows are quarantined and no integer-looking values are reinterpreted as raw counts (GSE201408)

Repository study title

Hypothalamic transcriptome in pure (Iberian x Iberian) and crossbred (Iberian x Large White) pigs at 2 months old
