[BioC] human tissue specific genes

[Sean Davis]

Lana,

You could look at making one using the GNF expression atlas (available 
via GEO, which you can access directly from R using AnnBuilder).  Data 
is available for 79 human tissues in duplicate on Affy arrays 
(hgu133a).  Furthermore, some tissues are represented more than just in 
duplicate (Brain is composed of pons, corpus callosum, frontal cortex, 
etc.).  I'm not sure how good the data is, but for "clustering" or the 
like, it is probably adequate.
