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
Adaptor sequences were trimmed using Cutadapt and reads containing low-quality bases (Phred quality score < 20 in > 20% of the bases) were removed. Reads were aligned to the human genome within the UCSC Genome Browser (GRCh38) using STAR, and expression was counted with HTSeq. Samples with uniquely mapped read rates < 80% or unique read counts < 5 × 10⁶ were excluded. We calculated Spearman's correlations of the expressions between two samples from the same cell type and then removed the samples with mean correlation coefficients < 0.9. In addition, samples with the concordance rates between RNA-seq-based genotype and WGS-based genotype at the heterozygous loci < 0.9 were excluded.
