Available Tissues in Gene Expression
Tissues from all data that passed the pre-processing filters are included in Gene Expression.
Tissue annotations provided by the original contributors are mapped to the closest UBERON term and come in different levels of granularity. For example, data from the heart may come from the these annotations:
- Heart
- Apex of Heart
- Heart Left Ventricle
- Heart Right Ventricle
For increased usability we have grouped and concatenated data from related tissues so that dot plots show gene expression across all of their cell types in a single view. In the example above, all data from those tissue annotations will be shown under "Heart".
The table below shows the current tissue mapping as of September, 2022.
