Data Introduction

This package provides a dataset for those wishing to try out the TCGA Workflow: Analyze cancer genomics and epigenomics data using Bioconductor packages [@10.12688/f1000research.8923.2]. The data in this package are a subset of the TCGA data for LGG (Lower grade glioma) and GBM (Glioblastoma multiforme) samples.

data("GBMnocnvhg19")
data("GBMIllumina_HiSeq")
data("LGGIllumina_HiSeq")
data("mafMutect2LGGGBM")

Data creation

The following commands were used to create the data included with this package.

Genes information

Download gene information for hg19 using TCGAbiolinks, which uses biomart parckage.

library(GenomicRanges)
library(TCGAbiolinks)
##############################
## Recurrent CNV annotation ## 
##############################
# Get gene information from GENCODE using biomart
genes <- TCGAbiolinks:::get.GRCh.bioMart(genome = "hg19") 
genes <- genes[genes$external_gene_id != "" & genes$chromosome_name %in% c(1:22,"X","Y"),]
genes[genes$chromosome_name == "X", "chromosome_name"] <- 23
genes[genes$chromosome_name == "Y", "chromosome_name"] <- 24
genes$chromosome_name <- sapply(genes$chromosome_name,as.integer)
genes <- genes[order(genes$start_position),]
genes <- genes[order(genes$chromosome_name),]
genes <- genes[,c("external_gene_id", "chromosome_name", "start_position","end_position")]
colnames(genes) <- c("GeneSymbol","Chr","Start","End")
genes_GR <- makeGRangesFromDataFrame(genes,keep.extra.columns = TRUE)
save(genes_GR,genes,file = "genes_GR.rda", compress = "xz")

GISTIC results

Download and save a subset of GBM GISTIC results from GDAC firehose.

```{R, eval=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, include=TRUE} library(RTCGAToolbox)

Download GISTIC results

lastAnalyseDate <- getFirehoseAnalyzeDates(1) gistic <- getFirehoseData("GBM",gistic2_Date = lastAnalyseDate)

get GISTIC results

gistic.allbygene <- getData(gistic,type = "GISTIC", CN = "All") gistic.allbygene <- gistic.allbygene[1:10,] gistic.thresholedbygene <- getData(gistic,type = "GISTIC", CN = "Thresholed") gistic.thresholedbygene <- gistic.thresholedbygene[1:10,] save(gistic.allbygene,gistic.thresholedbygene,file = "GBMGistic.rda", compress = "xz")

## Copy number variations (CNVs) 

The following code will download 
segmented CNV from SNP array (Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array
6.0) for 20  Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM)  samples.

```r
library(TCGAbiolinks)
query.gbm.nocnv <- GDCquery(project = "TCGA-GBM",
                            data.category = "Copy number variation",
                            legacy = TRUE,
                            file.type = "nocnv_hg19.seg",
                            sample.type = c("Primary solid Tumor"))
# to reduce time we will select only 20 samples
query.gbm.nocnv$results[[1]] <- query.gbm.nocnv$results[[1]][1:20,]

GDCdownload(query.gbm.nocnv, chunks.per.download = 100)

gbm.nocnv <- GDCprepare(query.gbm.nocnv, save = TRUE, save.filename = "GBMnocnvhg19.rda")

Gene expression data

The following code will download 20 LGG (Lower grade glioma) and 20 GBM (Glioblastoma multiforme) samples that have gene expression data. The Gene expression data is the raw expression signal for expression of a gene.

query <- GDCquery(project = "TCGA-GBM",
                  data.category = "Gene expression",
                  data.type = "Gene expression quantification",
                  platform = "Illumina HiSeq", 
                  file.type  = "results", 
                  sample.type = c("Primary solid Tumor"),
                  legacy = TRUE)
# We will use only 20 samples to make the example faster
query$results[[1]] <-  query$results[[1]][1:20,]                  
GDCdownload(query)
gbm.exp <- GDCprepare(query, save = TRUE, summarizedExperiment = TRUE, save.filename = "GBMIllumina_HiSeq.rda")

query <- GDCquery(project = "TCGA-LGG",
                  data.category = "Gene expression",
                  data.type = "Gene expression quantification",
                  platform = "Illumina HiSeq", 
                  file.type  = "results", 
                  sample.type = c("Primary solid Tumor"),
                  legacy = TRUE)
# We will use only 20 samples to make the example faster
query$results[[1]] <-  query$results[[1]][1:20,]
GDCdownload(query)
lgg.exp <- GDCprepare(query, save = TRUE, summarizedExperiment = TRUE, save.filename = "LGGIllumina_HiSeq.rda")

DNA methylation and Gene expression data

The following code will select 10 LGG (Lower grade glioma) and 10 GBM (Glioblastoma multiforme) samples that have both DNA methylation and gene expression data. This objects will be then prepared to the format accept by the Biocondcutor package r Biocpkg("ELMER")([link])(http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/ELMER.html). The DNA methylation will have only probes in chromossome 9 in order to make the example of the workflow faster. For a real analysis, all chromossomes should be used. The Gene expression data is the normalized results for expression of a gene.
