alterlab-ieu alterlab-gtex
Query the GTEx (Genotype-Tissue Expression) portal v2 REST API for tissue-specific gene expression (median TPM across 54 human tissues), expression QTLs (eQTLs), and splicing QTLs (sQTLs). Use when checking which tissues express a gene, finding which gene a non-coding/GWAS variant regulates via eQTLs, or interpreting variant regulatory effects across tissues. NOT for curated trait-variant associations (use alterlab-gwas), population allele frequencies or variant constraint (use alterlab-gnomad), or gene/transcript structure and ID mapping (use alterlab-ensembl). Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
