Gene expression and splicing counts from 49 tissues from GTEx genome build hg19 - non-strand specific

Dataset description:

49 folders, each corresponding to one tissue from GTEx and containing the following files

geneCounts: gene-level counts 

k_j: split counts spanning from one exon to another.

k_theta: non-split counts covering a splice site

n_psi3: total split counts from a given acceptor site

n_psi5: total split counts from a given donor site

n_theta: total split and non-split counts for a given splice site

Sample annotation describing each sample from the dataset

Description file with global information from the dataset

The gene counts were originated using the GTF file from release 29 of GENCODE, and the split and non-split counts contain only the annotated junctions from the same release. Statistics are reported only for GENCODE-annotated introns and splice sites, in compliance with the regulations of the GTEx consortium. For a description of the samples, methods, and protocols, see the GTEx publication specified below.

Use: The count matrices are intended to help researchers that are interested in using RNA-Seq data with the purpose of diagnostics. Researchers can merge their own dataset with the downloaded ones, provided the tissue, genome build, strand, and paired-end specifications match. Afterwards, Detection of RNA outliers Pipeline (DROP)  can be used to compute gene expression and splicing outliers.
Organism: Homo sapiens
