Installation

Bioconductor installation

In order to install the package from Bioconductor, make sure BiocManager is installed and then call the function to install curatedPCaData:

if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install("curatedPCaData")

GitHub installation

A download link to the latest pre-built curatedPCaData tarball is available on the right-side in GitHub under Releases.

You can also install curatedPCaData from GitHub inside R with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("Syksy/curatedPCaData")

To build the package tarball from a cloned git repo, run the following in terminal / command prompt while in the root of the project:

R CMD build curatedPCaData

It is then possible to install the self-built tarball:

R CMD INSTALL curatedPCaData_x.y.z.tar.gz

Note that building the package locally will require dependencies to be present for the R installation.

Usage

Vignettes

curatedPCaData delivers with basic vignette()s displaying the package’s generic use data retrieval and basic processing in R. The vignette overview is intended for gaining a first-line comprehensive view into the package’s contents. The intention is to display the basic functionality of the package as an ExperimentHub resource.

A sister package, curatedPCaWorkflow (GitHub link here), serves multiple specialized vignettes that delve deeper into analysis and further processing of the data. This workflow package reproduces the results presented in Laajala et al., and provides useful insight and examples for those looking to further leverage use of the multi-omics data provided in curatedPCaData.

Downloading data

The function getPCa is the primary means of extracting data from a cohort. It will automatically create a MultiAssayExperiment-object of the study:

library(curatedPCaData)

mae_tcga <- getPCa("tcga")

class(mae_tcga)
## [1] "MultiAssayExperiment"
## attr(,"package")
## [1] "MultiAssayExperiment"
names(mae_tcga)
##  [1] "cna.gistic"   "gex.rsem.log" "mut"          "cibersort"    "xcell"       
##  [6] "epic"         "quantiseq"    "mcp"          "estimate"     "scores"

Brief examples

Simple example use of curated datasets and ’omics there-in:

mae_taylor <- getPCa("taylor")
mae_sun <- getPCa("sun")
