Construct Prostate Cancer MultiAssayExperiment object from specific cohort

Description

curatedPCaData provides MultiAssayExperiment container objects that are constructed from ExperimentHub. User provides PCa dataset name (see list on the overview-vignette or help files).

Usage

getPCa(dataset, assays, timestamp, sampletypes, verbose = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

dataset

character() of PCa cancer cohort names (e.g., 'abida')

assays

character() A vector of PCa assays. If not included, returns all available for the selected dataset; see below for more details.

timestamp

character(1) "20230215" indicating the data version to obtain from 'ExperimentHub'. See 'timestamp' section details.

sampletypes

A character vector of sample types to include in the MAE. If the parameter is missing, then all samples are returned. Allowed values are: 'primary', 'metastatic', 'normal', 'BPH', 'atrophic'

verbose

logical(1) Whether to show the dataset currenlty being (down)loaded (default TRUE)

...

Additional arguments passed on to the ExperimentHub constructor

Details

This function will check against available resources in ExperimentHub. For a list of datasets, see the overview-vignette or below dataset listing.

Value

a MultiAssayExperiment of the specified assays and cancer cohort

Available datasets

Following shortnames can be used with getPCa to query for their omics from ExperimentHub. For more detailed description of the studies, see their corresponding R documentation file. Further details are reported in the overview-vignette.
