The human gastrointestinal tract-specific transcriptome and proteome as defined by RNA sequencing and antibody-based profiling

The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is subdivided into different anatomical organs with many shared functions and characteristics, but also distinct differences. We have combined a genome-wide transcriptomics analysis with immunohistochemistry-based protein profiling to describe the gene and protein expression patterns that define the human GIT. RNA sequencing data derived from stomach, duodenum, jejunum/ileum and colon specimens were compared to...
