GTEx RNA-seq data

The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project collects and analyzes multiple human post mortem tissues. RNA-seq data from 36 of their tissue types was mapped based on RSEMv1.3.0 (v8) and the resulting TPM values have been included in the Human Protein Atlas for all corresponding genes that could be mapped from Gencode v26 to Ensembl version 109. The GTEx retina data are based on EyeGEx data from Ratnapriya et al., Nature Genetics 2019 and transcript abundance estimation was performed using Kallisto v0.48.0 using Ensembl version 109 as reference genome.
