Ectopic Expression

Ectopic expression of some Receptors in a variety of tissues was drawn using R gganatogram package, based on a comprehensive expression analysis with Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technique (View more). Expression data are taken from the table-Expression profile of all genes in 16 different human tissues. Original values are added by one to show a log10 transformed profile.
