In TCGAutils: TCGA utility functions for data management

Description

makeGRangesListFromCopyNumber allows the user to convert objects of class data.frame or DataFrame to a GRangesList. It includes additional features specific to TCGA data such as, hugo symbols, probe numbers, segment means, and ucsc build (if available).

Usage

makeGRangesListFromCopyNumber(
  df,
  split.field,
  names.field = "Hugo_Symbol",
  ...
)

Arguments

df	A data.frame or DataFrame class object. list class objects are coerced to data.frame or DataFrame.
split.field	A character vector of length one indicating the column to be used as sample identifiers
names.field	A character vector of length one indicating the column to be used as names for each of the ranges in the data
...	Additional arguments to pass on to makeGRangesListFromDataFrame

Examples

library(GenomicDataCommons)
library(magrittr)

manif <- files() %>%
    filter(~ cases.project.project_id == "TCGA-COAD" &
        data_type == "Copy Number Segment") %>%
    manifest(size = 1)

fname <- gdcdata(manif$id)

barcode <- UUIDtoBarcode(names(fname), from_type = "file_id")$cases.submitter_id

cndata <- read.delim(fname[[1L]], nrows = 10L)

cngrl <- makeGRangesListFromCopyNumber(cndata, split.field = "GDC_Aliquot",
    keep.extra.columns = TRUE)

names(cngrl) <- barcode
GenomeInfoDb::genome(cngrl) <- extractBuild(fname[[1L]])
