We created a human histologically normal pancreas eQTL resource using 91 fresh frozen tissue samples from patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (Mayo Clinic and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center) or from organ donors without a history of pancreatic cancer (Penn State University) by RNA-Sequencing. Genome wide genotyping was done using blood derived DNA samples or normal derived tissue samples. An average of ~369,4 million reads (paired end, stranded, 101 bp) and 724981 genotypes (per sample) were generated.
