A new version of the HPA was launched with integration of protein expression and transcriptomics data. 27 tissues and 33 cell lines were analyzed, and a new classification was introduced based on the transcriptomics profiles across all major tissues. A new version of the HPA was launched with information from 21,900 antibodies corresponding to approximately 16,600 human genes (80% of the human protein-coding genes).

Key facts
- Transcriptomics analysis across 27 organs and tissues were included in a new version of the portal
- A new classification principle was introduced based on whole-body, tissue-specific protein expression
- Data indicated that tissue-enriched genes constituted 12% of all genes (n = 2,473)
- 8% of all genes were not detected in any of the tissues analyzed
