tissueSampleIds

Array of strings. A list of Tissue Sample ID(s).

sex

String. Options: "male", "female".

sortBy

String. Options: "sampleId", "ischemicTime", "aliquotId", "tissueSampleId", "hardyScale", "pathologyNotes", "ageBracket", "tissueSiteDetailId", "sex".

sortDirection

String. Options: "asc", "desc". Default = "asc".

searchTerm

String.

sampleIds

Character vector. GTEx sample ID.

subjectIds

Character vector. GTEx subject ID.

ageBrackets

The age bracket(s) of the donors of interest. Options: "20-29", "30-39", "40-49", "50-59", "60-69", "70-79".

hardyScales

Character vector. A list of Hardy Scale(s) of interest. Options: "Ventilator case", "Fast death - violent", "Fast death - natural causes", "Intermediate death", "Slow death".

hasExpressionData

Logical.

hasGenotype

Logical.

Value

A tibble
