System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

GTEx-based data enables researchers to interpret non-coding genetic variation by linking variants to tissue-specific gene expression and regulatory effects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Access tissue-specific expression (median TPM) and regulatory QTL data across 54 tissues via GTEx REST API.
  • Retrieve significant eQTLs, sQTLs, and eGenes to prioritize tissues and candidate genes for functional follow-up.
  • Use cases include interpreting GWAS loci by mapping signals to genes and tissues and exploring tissue-specific regulatory mechanisms.

Quick Start

Query a gene's tissue-specific expression and its significant eQTLs across GTEx tissues to interpret a GWAS signal.
