Group labels reviewed
Needs review
Siftome proposed case and control labels, but no reviewer confirmation is stored yet.
Open the sample grouping CSV and confirm group labels before analysis.
Minimum sample count met
Ready
Both groups meet the minimum of 2 samples.
Confirm whether the cohort is large enough for the intended statistical analysis.
Processed counts available
Ready
Processed data availability is marked true in the GEO index.
Verify that downloaded processed files contain usable count or expression identifiers.
Ambiguous samples handled
Ready
No review-needed or unassigned samples are present in the proposed grouping.
Still scan the grouping table for biology-specific ambiguity.
Exclusion decisions recorded
Ready
No hard-excluded samples were detected by the current rules.
Record any manual exclusions in the downstream analysis notes.
Source links preserved
Ready
The dataset and sample accessions can be linked back to GEO.
Keep GEO dataset and sample links with exported metadata.
Bioinformatician Review
Bioinformatician review required
Ask a bioinformatician to review grouping, count availability, exclusions, and design before DE.
Analysis readiness has blockers that must be resolved before DE.
Assay context may require expert handling before DESeq2-style analysis.
Why This Is Ranked Here
Patient tissue tumor-vs-normal
Not suitable
Dataset does not meet the current suitability threshold.
Score Components
relevance50%
Organism normalized. Assay type normalized.
comparison suitability0%
Tumor and normal sample groups detected. No excluded sample type flags detected. Tumor/normal design boosted for colorectal tumor-vs-normal tissue triage. Patient tissue or biopsy specimens boosted for tissue comparison triage. Small RNA, miRNA, circRNA, or extracellular-vesicle RNA context downgraded for primary mRNA tissue ranking. Missing colorectal disease context downgraded for tumor-vs-normal tissue ranking.
metadata quality70%
Sample source clarity: All samples have source metadata and clear GSE/GSM accessions. Group clarity: Rule-based grouping found both case and control samples. Disease clarity: Disease or condition metadata was not normalized. Tissue clarity: Tissue metadata was not normalized. Treatment clarity: No unclear treatment split detected in the sample metadata. Replicate clarity: No pooled sample or technical replicate flags detected. Data availability clarity: Dataset-level processed or raw data availability is explicit.
data availability100%
Processed data available. Raw data available.
overall34%
Weighted score: 30% relevance, 30% comparison suitability, 25% metadata quality, 15% data availability. Overall score capped because comparison suitability is weak for the selected search intent. Overall score capped because fewer than ten samples limit cohort confidence. Overall score capped because secondary RNA assays are not primary mRNA tissue RNA-seq. Overall score capped because colorectal/CRC disease context is not explicit.
