Cell Line Online Database Question -ARCHS4

Hi,

I am looking at RNA expression in cell lines. I am trying to validate an antibody, so it would be great to have this comparison of RNA and protein expression.

I found out about ARCHS4 which has a large dataset. But before looking further I want to make sure that I am understanding the data available. I am new to bioinformatics so, it is odd that I do not see units of measurement for the RNAseq data.

For example:

https://maayanlab.cloud/archs4/gene/PPIB#tissueexpression

Is the data available in this website in RPKM?

Thank you for your help!

Also if you have other online database that you recommend, please share!

rna cell-line

The data are gene counts that were first log2(x+1) transformed, followed by quantile normalization.
