Genotype-Tissue Expression 1 article

At the GTEx tissue transcriptomics stage of a workflow, Genotype-Tissue Expression operates as a genotype-expression project and data resource with a clearly delimited function. The database or project makes human gene expression across tissues and expression quantitative trait loci accessible together, while eQTL mapping and tissue-specific regulatory variants broaden the biological context of those records. GTEx links genotype with tissue-specific gene expression and regulation, distinguishing it from tumor-focused projects and protein-expression atlases.
