This shows a distribution curve to assess typical tissue-specific gene expression more richly than before (#364).

With this data newly available in Gene Leads, researchers can easily answer more questions about genes of interest, e.g.:

  • In which tissues is my gene typically most expressed?
  • Is expression usually concentrated in one tissue, or across many?
  • How does the expression of this gene in this sample compare to that in a large, representative cohort?
  • New: within each tissue, is expression normally distributed, skewed, or multimodal?
  • New: what is the maximum expression? A specific value for minimum expression is also often shown.

Here's how it looks!
