Retrieves sample gene expression data from GTEx, using the public API. A tissue type must be provided, and also a character vector with genes of interest. Gene expression estimates are provided for all samples of that tissue type, with two different expression units provided (TPM, log2(TPM + 1))

get_tpm_data(
  tissue_type = "Breast_Mammary_Tissue",
  genes = NULL,
  gtex_version = "v8"
)

Arguments

tissue_type

tissue type

genes
