[sdhutchins]

• Determine what data is accessible via API - @MariaJose501
• Determine how API will be used within the shiny app.

We'll integrate:

• GTEx Tissue-Specific Age Group Signatures
• LINCS L1000 Ligand Perturbations (2021)
• LINCS L1000 Chemical Perturbations Consensus Signatures
• SIgnature search by gene, disease
