Wow, did I just accidentally stumbled onto something super useful while looking for something completely different!
You know how you're digging through a protein list and -- based on annotation you might ask --
Does this liver cell express this protein that the accession says is a neuronal thing? Is the accession wrong or did I mess up really bad?
The accessions of most proteins are interesting in a historical sense -- like some dude or dudette in 1984 stumbled across it while pumping fruit flies full of radioactive cesium in an attempt to create an even more powerful hairspray -- but they can be misleading or confusing on the surface.
What if there was a way to quickly look at protein expression -- across the Human Protein Atlas?!?!
That's exactly what HPAStainR does!
Cool paper, but there is a Shiny Web Portal!
Turns out that "neurowhatever" protein is highly expressed in every tissue!
