`tissues`

Pack: gtex · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/gtex/mcp

GTEx Portal (Genotype-Tissue Expression project) — the catalogue of human tissue sites GTEx sampled, such as Liver, Whole_Blood and Brain_Cortex. Returns each tissue’s tissueSiteDetailId, display name, parent tissue site, RNA-seq and genotype sample counts and colour code; that id is the spelling every other GTEx expression and eQTL tool expects. Answers which human tissues GTEx covers and how a tissue id is spelled.
