Package 'cBioPortalData'

Title: Exposes and Makes Available Data from the cBioPortal Web Resources
Description: The cBioPortalData R package accesses study datasets from the cBio Cancer Genomics Portal. It accesses the data either from the pre-packaged zip / tar files or from the API interface that was recently implemented by the cBioPortal Data Team. The package can provide data in either tabular format or with MultiAssayExperiment object that uses familiar Bioconductor data representations.

Manage cache / download directories for study data

Description

Managing data downloads is important to save disk space and avoid re-downloading data files. This can be done via the integrated BiocFileCache system.

Usage

cBioCache(..., ask = interactive())

setCache(
  directory = tools::R_user_dir("cBioPortalData", "cache"),
  verbose = TRUE,
  ask = interactive()
)

removePackCache(cancer_study_id, dry.run = TRUE)

Arguments

...

For cBioCache, arguments passed to setCache

ask

logical (default TRUE when interactive session) Confirm the file location of the cache directory

directory

The file location where the cache is located. Once set future downloads will go to this folder.

verbose

Whether to print descriptive messages

cancer_study_id

character(1) The studyId from getStudies

dry.run

logical Whether or not to remove cache files (default TRUE).

Value

cBioCache: The path to the cache location

cBioCache

Get the directory location of the cache. It will prompt the user to create a cache if not already created. A specific directory can be used via setCache.

setCache

Specify the directory location of the data cache. By default, it will go to the user directory as given by:

    tools::R_user_dir("cBioPortalData", "cache")

removePackCache

Some files may become corrupt when downloading, this function allows the user to delete the tarball associated with a cancer_study_id in the cache. This only works for the cBioDataPack function. To remove the entire cBioPortalData cache, run unlink("~/.cache/cBioPortalData").

Examples

cBioCache()

removePackCache("acc_tcga", dry.run = TRUE)

Deprecated cache helper functions

Description

'cBioPortalData' no longer caches data from API responses; therefore, 'removeDataCache' is no longer needed. It will be removed as soon as the next release of Bioconductor.

Usage

removeDataCache(
  api,
  studyId = NA_character_,
  genePanelId = NA_character_,
  genes = NA_character_,
  molecularProfileIds = NULL,
  sampleListId = NULL,
  sampleIds = NULL,
  by = c("entrezGeneId", "hugoGeneSymbol"),
  dry.run = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

api

An API object of class 'cBioPortal' from the 'cBioPortal' function

studyId

character(1) Indicates the "studyId" as taken from 'getStudies'

genePanelId

character(1) Identifies the gene panel, as obtained from the 'genePanels' function

genes

character() Either Entrez gene identifiers or Hugo gene symbols. When included, the 'by' argument indicates the type of identifier provided and 'genePanelId' is ignored. Preference is given to Entrez IDs due to faster query responses.

molecularProfileIds

character() A vector of molecular profile IDs

sampleListId

character(1) A sample list identifier as obtained from 'sampleLists()“

sampleIds

character() Sample identifiers

by

character(1) Either 'entrezGeneId' or 'hugoGeneSymbol' for row metadata (default: 'entrezGeneId')

dry.run

logical Whether or not to remove cache files (default TRUE).

...

Additional arguments to lower level API functions

Value

removeDataCache: The path to the cache location when 'dry.run = FALSE' if the file exists. Otherwise, when 'dry.run = TRUE', the function return the output of the 'file.remove' operation.

removeDataCache

Remove the computed cache location based on the function inputs to 'cBioPortalData()'. To remove the cache, simply replace the 'cBiocPortalData()' function name with 'removeDataCache()'; see the example. If the computed cache location is not found, it will return an empty vector.

Examples

cbio <- cBioPortal()

cBioPortalData(
    cbio, by = "hugoGeneSymbol",
    studyId = "acc_tcga",
    genePanelId = "AmpliSeq",
    molecularProfileIds =
        c("acc_tcga_rppa", "acc_tcga_linear_CNA", "acc_tcga_mutations")
)

removeDataCache(
    cbio, by = "hugoGeneSymbol",
    studyId = "acc_tcga",
    genePanelId = "AmpliSeq",
    molecularProfileIds =
        c("acc_tcga_rppa", "acc_tcga_linear_CNA", "acc_tcga_mutations"),
    dry.run = TRUE
)

Obtain pre-packaged data from cBioPortal and represent as a MultiAssayExperiment object

Description

The cBioDataPack function allows the user to download and process cancer study datasets found in MSKCC's cBioPortal. Output datasets use the MultiAssayExperiment data representation to faciliate analysis and data management operations.

Usage

cBioDataPack(
  cancer_study_id,
  use_cache = TRUE,
  names.field = c("Hugo_Symbol", "Entrez_Gene_Id", "Gene"),
  cleanup = TRUE,
  ask = interactive(),
  check_build = TRUE
)

Arguments

cancer_study_id

character(1) The study identifier from cBioPortal as seen in the dataset links at https://www.cbioportal.org/datasets

use_cache

logical(1) (default TRUE) create the default cache location and use it to track downloaded data. If data found in the cache, data will not be re-downloaded. A path can also be provided to data cache location.

names.field

character() Possible column names for the column that will used to label ranges for data such as mutations or copy number (default: c("Hugo_Symbol", "Entrez_Gene_Id", "Gene", "Composite.Element.REF")). Values are cycled through and eliminated when no data present, or duplicates are found. Values in the corresponding column must be unique in each row.

cleanup

logical(1) whether to delete the untar-red contents from the exdir folder (default TRUE)

ask

logical(1) Whether to prompt the the user before downloading and loading study MultiAssayExperiment that is not currently building based on previous testing. Set to interactive() by default. In a non-interactive session, data download will be attempted; equivalent to ask = FALSE. The argument will also be used when a cache directory needs to be created when using downloadStudy.

check_build

logical(1L) Whether to check the build status of the studyId using an internal dataset. This argument should be set to FALSE if using alternative hostnames, e.g., 'pedcbioportal.kidsfirstdrc.org'

Details

The full list of study identifiers (studyIds) can obtained from getStudies(). Currently, only ~ 72% of datasets can be represented as MultiAssayExperiment data objects from the data tarballs. Refer to getStudies(..., buildReport = TRUE) and its "pack_build" column to see which study identifiers are not building. Users who would like to prioritize particular datasets should open GitHub issues at the URL in the DESCRIPTION file. For a more fine-grained approach to downloading data from the cBioPortal API, refer to the cBioPortalData function.

Value

A MultiAssayExperiment object

cBio_URL

The cBioDataPack function accesses data from the cBio_URL option. By default, it points to an Amazon S3 bucket location. Previously, it pointed to 'http://download.cbioportal.org'. This recent change (> 2.1.17) should provide faster and more reliable downloads for all users. See the URL using cBioPortalData:::.url_location. This can be changed if there are mirrors that host this data by setting the cBio_URL option with getOption("cBio_URL", "https://some.url.com/") before running the function.

A class for representing the cBioPortal API protocol

Description

The cBioPortal class is a representation of the cBioPortal API protocol that directly inherits from the Service class in the AnVIL package. For more information, see the AnVIL package.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'cBioPortal'
operations(x, ..., .deprecated = FALSE)

Arguments

x

A Service instance or API representation as given by the cBioPortal function.

...

additional arguments passed to methods or, for ⁠operations,Service-method⁠, to the internal get_operation() function.

.deprecated

optional logical(1) include deprecated operations?

Details

This class takes the static API as provided at https://www.cbioportal.org/api/v2/api-docs and creates an R object with the help from underlying infrastructure (i.e., rapiclient and AnVIL) to give the user a unified representation of the API specification provided by the cBioPortal group. Users are not expected to interact with this class other than to use it as input to the functionality provided by the rest of the package.

Value

A cBioPortal class instance

Functions

  • operations(cBioPortal):

cBioPortal, Service

Examples

cBioPortal()

Download data from the cBioPortal API

Description

Obtain a MultiAssayExperiment object for a particular gene panel, studyId, molecularProfileIds, and sampleListIds combination. Default molecularProfileIds and sampleListIds are set to NULL for including all data. This option is best for users who wish to obtain a section of the study data that pertains to a specific molecular profile and gene panel combination. For users looking to download the entire study data as provided by the https://www.cbioportal.org/datasets, refer to cBioDataPack.

Usage

cBioPortalData(
  api,
  studyId = NA_character_,
  genePanelId = NA_character_,
  genes = NA_character_,
  molecularProfileIds = NULL,
  sampleListId = NULL,
  sampleIds = NULL,
  by = c("entrezGeneId", "hugoGeneSymbol"),
  check_build = TRUE,
  ask = interactive()
)

Arguments

api

An API object of class 'cBioPortal' from the 'cBioPortal' function

studyId

character(1) Indicates the "studyId" as taken from 'getStudies'

genePanelId

character(1) Identifies the gene panel, as obtained from the 'genePanels' function

genes

character() Either Entrez gene identifiers or Hugo gene symbols. When included, the 'by' argument indicates the type of identifier provided and 'genePanelId' is ignored. Preference is given to Entrez IDs due to faster query responses.

molecularProfileIds

character() A vector of molecular profile IDs

sampleListId

character(1) A sample list identifier as obtained from 'sampleLists()“

sampleIds

character() Sample identifiers

by

character(1) Either 'entrezGeneId' or 'hugoGeneSymbol' for row metadata (default: 'entrezGeneId')

check_build

logical(1L) Whether to check the build status of the studyId using an internal dataset. This argument should be set to FALSE if using alternative hostnames, e.g., 'pedcbioportal.kidsfirstdrc.org'

ask

logical(1) Whether to prompt the the user before downloading and loading study MultiAssayExperiment that is not currently building based on previous testing. Set to interactive() by default. In a non-interactive session, data download will be attempted; equivalent to ask = FALSE. The argument will also be used when a cache directory needs to be created when using downloadStudy.

Details

We are able to succesfully represent 98 percent of the study identifiers as MultiAssayExperiment objects as obtained via cBioPortalData with the IMPACT341 genePanelId as the example gene panel. Datasets that currently fail to import can be seen in the getStudies(..., buildReport = TRUE) dataset under the "api_build" column. Note that changes to the cBioPortal API may affect this rate at any time. If you encounter any issues, please open a GitHub issue at the https://github.com/waldronlab/cBioPortalData/issues/ page with a fully reproducible example.

Value

Manually download, untar, and load study tarballs

Description

Note that these functions should be used when a particular study is not currently available as a MultiAssayExperiment representation. Otherwise, use cBioDataPack. Provide a cancer_study_id from getStudies and retrieve the study tarball from the cBio Genomics Portal. These functions are used by cBioDataPack under the hood to download,untar, and load the tarball datasets with caching. As stated in ?cBioDataPack, not all studies are currently working as MultiAssayExperiment objects. As of July 2020, about ~80% of datasets can be successfully imported into the MultiAssayExperiment data class. Please open an issue if you would like the team to prioritize a study. You may also check getStudies(buildReport = TRUE)$pack_build for the current status.

Usage

downloadStudy(
  cancer_study_id,
  use_cache = TRUE,
  force = FALSE,
  url_location = getOption("cBio_URL", .url_location),
  ask = interactive()
)

untarStudy(cancer_study_file, exdir = tempdir())

  filepath,
  names.field = c("Hugo_Symbol", "Entrez_Gene_Id", "Gene", "Composite.Element.REF"),
  cleanup = TRUE
)

Arguments

cancer_study_id

character(1) The study identifier from cBioPortal as seen in the dataset links at https://www.cbioportal.org/datasets

use_cache

force

logical(1) (default FALSE) whether to force re-download data from remote location

url_location

character(1) (default "https://cbioportal-datahub.s3.amazonaws.com") the URL location for downloading packaged data. Can be set using the 'cBio_URL' option (see ?cBioDataPack for more details)

ask

logical(1) Whether to prompt the the user before downloading and loading study MultiAssayExperiment that is not currently building based on previous testing. Set to interactive() by default. In a non-interactive session, data download will be attempted; equivalent to ask = FALSE. The argument will also be used when a cache directory needs to be created when using downloadStudy.

cancer_study_file

character(1) indicates the on-disk location of the downloaded tarball

exdir

character(1) indicates the folder location to put the contents of the tarball (default tempdir(); see also ?untar)

filepath

character(1) indicates the folder location where the contents of the tarball are located (usually the same as exdir)

names.field

character() Possible column names for the column that will used to label ranges for data such as mutations or copy number (default: c("Hugo_Symbol", "Entrez_Gene_Id", "Gene", "Composite.Element.REF")). Values are cycled through and eliminated when no data present, or duplicates are found. Values in the corresponding column must be unique in each row.

cleanup

logical(1) whether to delete the untar-red contents from the exdir folder (default TRUE)

Details

When attempting to load a dataset using loadStudy, note that the cleanup argument is set to TRUE by default. Change the argument to FALSE if you would like to keep the untarred data in the exdir location. downloadStudy and untarStudy are not affected by this change. The tarball of the downloaded data is cached via BiocFileCache when use_cache is TRUE.

Value

  • downloadStudy - The file location of the data tarball

  • untarStudy - The directory location of the contents

  • loadStudy - A MultiAssayExperiment-class object
