Unable to downlaod files from GEO

Question

[Aaliya]

Hello everyone, I am facing difficulty downloading file from GEO: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE44951. (GSE44951).

For this study sample, the SRA number is not mentioned. I always used to download files from SRA. ON GEO, I did try to download files from the supplementary file section given on the bottom of the page, but the file types are CEL type, and I am unable to even open those files. I want Fastq files from this study. Can someone kindly help me, its really urgent.

Authors used microarray, so raw data are CEL files, fastq are only obtained via sequencing

[Aaliya]

so, is there any way I can download the sequences?

Raw expression data are in the CEL files, there are some tutorials available to help you extract gene expression information from those data : https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/workflows/vignettes/maEndToEnd/inst/doc/MA-Workflow.html
