We are pleased to announce the release of a new graphic-based
"Tissue Body Map​"​ configuration page for the GTEx Gene Expression track. This new page allow
​s​
users to
​view
 GTEx-sampled tissues in an anatomical context and select tissues from the anatomy graphic as an alternative to using the alphabetical tissue list.

This new track settings page contains its original functionality, but uses a new interface for track configuration. Next to a color-coded checkbox list of the 53 tissues is an interactive illustration of a human anatomical "body map." Hovering over a tissue in the list will highlight the corresponding anatomical region in the body map image. To show or hide tissues in the GTEx Gene Expression track, tissue selections can be made by either selecting tissues in the list or by clicking on the tissue labels in the body map.

​To quickly see which tissues are selected,
right-click the bar graph displayed in the browser for the GTEx track
​ and then​
click the wrench icon to
​ go to the​
"Configure GTEx"
​ page.​


To navigate to the new track settings page from ,
​go to​
 the hg38 or hg19 browser and click on the track label "GTEx" in the Expression group.

In the coming months, we plan to incorporate the Tissue Body Map into other GTEx resources.
