Bgee Get Gene Expression

Get expression data for a gene across tissues and organs from the Bgee database. Returns where a gene is expressed with expression scores, confidence levels, and quality ratings. Supports RNA-Seq, Affymetrix, EST, and in situ hybridization data types. Requires both an Ensembl gene ID and NCBI taxonomy ID. Example: ENSG00000141510 (TP53) with species 9606 (human) returns expression across 145+ tissues including ventricular zone (score 95.11), ganglionic eminence, and monocytes.
