Pilot (v3 era)
STAGE_PERIOD
~2011–2015
DESCRIPTION
Multitissue RNA-seq and genotyping in ~175 donors across 43 tissues; defined tissue-specific and shared cis-eQTL architecture and established GTEx as the reference expression resource.
URL
Production scale-up
STAGE_PERIOD
mid-program
DESCRIPTION
Increased donor count, read depth, and tissue coverage with harmonized QC; broadened power for splicing QTLs, ASE, and cross-tissue meta-analysis.
URL
Bulk atlas releases (v6p / v8)
STAGE_PERIOD
stable releases
DESCRIPTION
Large stable releases (notably v6p and v8) distributing expression matrices, covariates, and variant calls; default inputs for TWAS, colocalization, and enrichment after GWAS.
URL
Extensions & ancillary studies
STAGE_PERIOD
ongoing
DESCRIPTION
Single-cell pilots, additional molecular assays, and integration with other consortia complement the core bulk RNA-seq atlas and support finer-resolution interpretation of regulatory variation.
