We utilized the gene expression data from the GTEx (Genotype-Tissue Expression) project (v8p release). We downloaded the gene expression data of 53 human tissues. The expression level of genes were quantified by RNA sequencing. More detailed information about tissue collection, RNA extraction, expression quantification and data processing can be found on the GTEx website (http://gtexportal.org/) and related publications (GTEx Consortium. 2017. Genetic effects on gene expression across human tissues. Nature, 550:204–13. [PMID: 29022597]).
