TCGAbiolinks (version 1.2.5)

TCGAquery: Searches TCGA open-access data providing also latest version of the files.

Description

The TCGAquery searches TCGA open-access data through a preprocessed table with the latest version of the files.

Some parameters as tumor, platorm, level, center, barcode can be used to search the data.

TCGAquery will return a matrix with the results found, that will be used in the other function TCGAdownload, TCGAprepare.

Usage

TCGAquery(tumor = NULL, platform = NULL, samples = NULL, center = NULL, level = NULL, version = NULL)

Arguments

tumor
