starplast.expression
Six further expression datasets, each normalized according to what it actually measures.
These add four biological axes the map did not have, plus a real proteome and site-level phospho:
| dataset | axis added | genes |
|---|---|---|
| PMID 31726967 | in vivo brain, acute vs chronic, plus bradyzoite 28 DPI | 8,678 |
| GSE132248 | alkaline-stress bradyzoite induction, 24 h vs 48 h | 8,923 |
| PXD058095 | MORC depletion and BFD1 knockout | 8,920 |
| PXD039400 + PXD042658 | total proteome, AP2XII-1/AP2XI-2 depleted or not | 3,020 |
| PXD017032 | phosphosite positions and ratios, oocyst vs tachyzoite | 1,918 |
| PXD003765 | oocyst iTRAQ | 2,095 |
Two of them close gaps this project has been explicit about. The total proteome is four times the
coverage of the immunoprecipitation data previously shipped (3,020 against 748) and is a proteome rather
than an enrichment. The phosphosite table replaces a bare count -- n_phosphosites, present for 14.4% of
genes with no positions -- with sites, ratios and p-values.
Every file needed something. Not one was a plain table with a header on the first row: two hide their
data behind a Legend sheet, one is a legacy .xls that pandas cannot open at all without xlrd and is
converted through libreoffice, and the iTRAQ header sits on the second row. That is normal for
supplementary data and is why each dataset is declared here rather than guessed at.
Quantifications are not pooled. Each is normalized by its own type through sources.normalize -- counts
and intensities are logged and centered, ratios are left alone because centering moves their reference --
and the columns are named for their dataset so nothing downstream can mistake an iTRAQ ratio for a TPM.
PMID 31726967: tachyzoite, whole brain acute and chronic, bradyzoite 28 DPI.
GSE132248: unstressed 24 h against alkaline-stressed 48 h.
GSE22258: matched Pru tachyzoite and 72-hour alkaline-induced bradyzoite array.
Unlike the two older ToxoGeneChip files beside it, this series matrix is already keyed by TGME49 accessions, so no external platform annotation or uncertain probe conversion is needed.
GSE168465: parasite RNA changes over 1--14 days in infected primary brain cells.
Each workbook sheet is one time point against the tachyzoite comparator. Base means and log2 fold changes are measurements; p-values are inferential confidence and stay in the source file.
GSE99395: matched ribosome-footprint and RNA counts, intra- and extracellular.
GSE129869: parasite RPF/RNA counts in confluent and subconfluent infected HFFs.
GSE19092: synchronized tachyzoite cell-cycle microarray, two replicates.
GSE51780: tachyzoite comparator and feline merozoite expression.
GSE168155: CPSF4 depletion transcriptome; not a direct per-gene m6A measurement.
GSE200962: tachyzoite/bradyzoite checkpoint and cyclin perturbation RNA counts.
PXD058095: MORC knockdown and BFD1 knockout. Data is on a second sheet behind a Legend.
PXD039400 + PXD042658: total proteome, AP2XII-1/AP2XI-2 depleted or not.
Four times the protein coverage of the IP experiments previously shipped, and an actual proteome.
PXD017032: oocyst against tachyzoite phosphosite ratios, with positions.
Site level collapsed to gene level, keeping what a gene table can hold: how many sites were measured, how many moved in each direction, and the strongest change. The site positions stay in the source file -- a per-gene table is the wrong shape for them.
PXD003765: oocyst iTRAQ ratios. Legacy .xls, converted through libreoffice.
GSE245775: RPF and RNA counts for tachyzoites and alkaline-induced pre-bradyzoites.
Both in the parental line and in an eIF1.2 knockout -- the initiation factor whose loss blocks differentiation. The pre-bradyzoite RPF columns are the only ribosome profiling in the map taken under conversion, which is what makes this series worth reading despite being a knockout study.
Which archive member is which sample comes from the series matrix. The file names here happen to
be descriptive (GSM7848805_parent_tachy_riboseq_rep1_counts.tabular.txt.gz) and that is exactly
the trap: trusting them works until a submitter abbreviates one, and the GSM accession is stated
outright a few lines away.
GSE223620: which transcripts the RNA-binding protein BFD2 pulls down.
IP against input, both scaled to a common library size, as a log2 ratio. The deposit publishes read counts and not the ratio, so it is computed here -- the comparison its two-sample design exists to make.
One column and not a set, because there is one RBP. The slot is RNA-binding protein targets
and the column name says which protein, so a second RIP would sit beside this one rather than
being averaged into it: two RBPs do not have a shared answer.
Every dataset above, joined on gene id.
