Very happy and proud to present: The GTEx papers. This set of 15 papers published today describes the final phase of this 10-year effort, providing the genomics community an atlas of genetic regulatory variants and a deep dive into the biology behind it. sciencemag.org/collections/ge… 
In the main paper, co-led with @francoisaguet and @KArdlie, we introduce the data set of eQTLs and sQTLs in cis and trans from >15K samples from 49 tissues, analyze functional mechanisms, tissue- and cell-type specificity, GWAS interpretation, and more. science.sciencemag.org/content/369/65…
GTEx data resources including visualizations is available in @GTExPortal, dbGap/ANVIL, UCSC & elsewhere. We also put quite a bit of effort into making the main paper supplement readable & useful. It is LONG though - a TON of work went into this paper!
Huge thanks & congrats to my coauthors - above all @francoisaguet and also other lead analysts Alvaro Barbeira @rodbonazzola @arnsbr @stephanecastel Brian Jo @silvakasela @skimhellmuth @yanyu_liang Meritxell Oliva & @princyparsana. Also @KArdlie @hakyim @alexisjbattle!
I also want to thank people who built this consortium: @KArdlie, @dermitzakis @NancyGenetics @RodericGuigo, the analysis group over the years, @GTExPortal @NIH, sample collection & sequencing folks, above all donor families, & many others. It's been a pleasure and a privilege!
There is also a large number of companion papers from the consortium that dig deeper into specific questions and introduce novel data sets and methods. Full list here, and keep an eye on updates as additional papers get published. sciencemag.org/collections/ge…
