TSEA-DB provides a comprehensive reference for trait-associated tissues. A systematic tissue-specific enrichment analysis (TSEA) has been conducted using deTS to infer tissues in which trait-associated genes are enriched. Two reference tissue panels are collected: the GTEx v7 panel (47 tissues) and the ENCODE panel (44 tissues). A total of 5019 GWAS summary statistics data sets for human complex traits and diseases (435 + 161 GWAS data sets from the non-UKBB panel and 4423 data sets from the UKBB panel) have been analyzed for their causal tissues.

ABOUT TSEA-DB

TSEA-DB is a data warehouse for trait-associated tissue specificity. deTS is an R package developed by our group to decode tissue specificity, aka tissue-specific enrichment analysis (TSEA). It includes two reference panels for tissue expression profile. TSEA-DB conducts TSEA for trait associated genes and infer trait relevant tissues. Our trait collection and their related genes include (1) Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) by manual curation, and (2) UKBB GWAS data. Please email us if there are any feedbacks. Documentation can be found here.
