Rat paraventricular nucleus — adolescent restraint stress (bulk RNA-seq)
Rattus norvegicus · Paraventricular nucleus · bulk RNA-seq
Selected data and study scope
This dataset contains bulk RNA-seq data from Rattus norvegicus, sampled from paraventricular nucleus. The default comparison examines gene expression in Adolescent restraint stress relative to Nonstress.
The explorer includes 1 track and 1 comparison for this dataset.
The default track, Paraventricular nucleus (PVN), includes 3 Nonstress samples and 3 Adolescent restraint stress 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. Rat paraventricular nucleus — adolescent restraint stress (bulk RNA-seq); all 1 registered contrasts on default track pvn
Experimental design passed. Rat paraventricular nucleus — adolescent restraint stress (bulk RNA-seq); all 1 registered contrasts on default track pvn
Author concordance passed. Matched gene effects; stress_vs_nonstress. 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.
