No datasets in the cart.

We are currently receiving a large number of applications for data submission, and the review process is taking longer than usual.We sincerely apologize for the delay and kindly ask for your understanding. When submitting an application, we would greatly appreciate it if you could allow sufficient time for the processing.

Following a change to our organizational structure effective April 1, 2026, this division has been renamed from the "Database Center for Life Science, Joint Support-Center for Data Science Research" to the "Database Division for Life Science (DBCLS), BioData Science Initiative (BSI), National Institute of Genetics (NIG)". Where the former name still appears in the guidelines, please read it as the new name.

QC and filtering
FASTQ files were aligned to the human genome (GRCh38; GenBank assembly GCA_000001405.18) using STAR (v2.5). HTSeq-count (v0.6.1) was used to generate gene counts. In the quality-control analysis, low-quality bases (Phred quality score < 20) were trimmed using the fastx-toolkit (v0.0.14). As the level of mitochondrial transcription is an indicator of cell stress, we applied a cutoff percentage of mitochondrial gene transcripts of < 8%. For detecting outlier samples, Spearman's correlation for each subset was calculated, and samples with an average r2 < 0.8 were omitted as outliers.
