We are excited we can announce the availability of GTEx tissue-specific gene expression data and dbNSFP 4.0 Genes.

## GTEx

The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project is an ongoing effort to build a comprehensive public resource to study tissue-specific gene expression and regulation. Samples were collected from 54 non-diseased tissue sites across nearly 1000 individuals, primarily for molecular assays including WGS, WES, and RNA-Seq.

For each variant, VarSome will display the tissue expressions for the gene exon the variant is found in \[Fig 1\], and for the gene itself, VarSome will display an overview of the entire gene & all exons \[Fig 2\].

GTEx have a very comprehensive browser of their own, so please click the link to view the full data-set on their site, which offers further drill-down and detail of the transcript model.

## dbNSFP 4.0 Genes

We have imported the latest dataset from dbNSFP for genes \[Fig 3\].

Coincidentally, this no longer includes gene tissue expressions which can be sourced from GTEx instead.

## Let us know what you think!

As ever, we hope you find these new features useful, and look forward to any feedback or suggestions you may have. You may leave a comment right here or [get in touch with us](https://saphetor.com/contact/).
