Expression data from human pancreatic islets

Close to 50 genetic loci have been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but they explain only 15% of the heritability. In an attempt to identify additional T2D genes, we analyzed global gene expression in human islets from 63 donors.

Provenance — who produced it, who reused it

Linked to 24 papers in the literature. Roles are inferred factual signals (who deposited the data vs who reused it), with counts — never a judgement about any author.

Standardized, field-standard QC computed by touching the data — every metric states how it was obtained

measured = computed from the data · extrapolated/reported = derived or from the repository · dq-1.0 · provisional — verify independently
