UCSCXenaTools is an R package for accessing genomics data from UCSC Xena platform, from cancer multi-omics to single-cell RNA-seq. Public omics data from UCSC Xena are supported through multiple turn-key Xena Hubs, which are a collection of UCSC-hosted public databases such as TCGA, ICGC, TARGET, GTEx, CCLE, and others. Databases are normalized so they can be combined, linked, filtered, explored and downloaded.
Who is the target audience and what are scientific applications of this package?
Install stable release from CRAN with:
You can also install devel version of UCSCXenaTools from github with:
If you want to build vignette in local, please add two options:
All datasets are available at https://xenabrowser.net/datapages/.
Currently, UCSCXenaTools supports 10 data hubs of UCSC Xena.
If any url of data hub is changed or a new data hub is online, please remind me by emailing to w_shixiang@163.com or opening an issue on GitHub.
Download UCSC Xena datasets and load them into R by UCSCXenaTools is a workflow with generate, filter, query, download and prepare 5 steps, which are implemented as XenaGenerate, XenaFilter, XenaQuery, XenaDownload and XenaPrepare functions, respectively. They are very clear and easy to use and combine with other packages like dplyr.
To show the basic usage of UCSCXenaTools, we will download clinical data of LUNG, LUAD, LUSC from TCGA (hg19 version) data hub. Users can learn more about UCSCXenaTools by running browseVignettes("UCSCXenaTools") to read vignette.
UCSCXenaTools uses a data.frame object (built in package) XenaData to generate an instance of XenaHub class, which records information of all datasets of UCSC Xena Data Hubs.
You can load XenaData after loading UCSCXenaTools into R.
