About
"The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project aims to provide to the scientific community a resource with which to study human gene expression and regulation and its relationship to genetic variation. This project will collect and analyze multiple human tissues from donors who are also densely genotyped, to assess genetic variation within their genomes. By analyzing global RNA expression within individual tissues and treating the expression levels of genes as quantitative traits, variations in gene expression that are highly correlated with genetic variation can be identified as expression quantitative trait loci, or eQTLs."

The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Project is supported by the Common Fund of the Office of the Director of the National Institutes of Health, and by NCI, NHGRI, NHLBI, NIDA, NIMH, and NINDS.
The data used for the analyses described in this manuscript were obtained from the GTEx Portal on 07/28/2017 and staged to dedicated shared storage at UAB in order to better facilitate researcher access to important public data. These hosted data are documented and supported in part by the Informatics Institute uab-bioitx team and infrastructure.
