Enhancing Research Through the Use of the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Database.

ABSTRACT: Despite a growing interest in multi-omic research, individual investigators may struggle to collect large-scale omic data, particularly from human subjects. Publicly available datasets can help to address this problem, including those sponsored by the NIH Common Fund, such as the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) database. This database contains genotype and expression data obtained from 54 non-diseased tissues in human subjects. But these data are often underutilized, because users may find the browsing tools to be counterintuitive or have difficulty navigating the procedures to request controlled data access. Furthermore, there is limited knowledge of these resources among nurse scientists interested in incorporating such information into their programs of research. This article outlines
