Source: R/get_top_expressed_genes.R
get_top_expressed_genes.Rd

Find top expressed genes for a specified tissue.

  • Returns top expressed genes for a specified tissue in a dataset, sorted by median expression.

  • When the optional parameter filterMtGene is set to true, mitochondrial genes will be excluded from the results. By default, this service queries the latest GTEx release.
