Hello,

I am trying to use TCGAbiolinks to query GDC for Bisulfite-seq data. It is part of the "Legacy archive".

> library(TCGAbiolinks)
Registered S3 method overwritten by 'R.oo':
  method        from       
  throw.default R.methodsS3
> query <- GDCquery(project = c("TCGA-COAD"),
+                   data.category = "DNA methylation",
+                   legacy = TRUE,
+                   platform = c("IlluminaHiSeq_WGBS"),
+                   sample.type = "Recurrent Solid Tumor"
+ )
--------------------------------------

oo Accessing GDC. This might take a while...

ooo Project: TCGA-COAD

Error in GDCquery(project = c("TCGA-COAD"), data.category = "DNA methylation",  : 
  Please set a valid platform argument from the list below:
  => Illumina Human Methylation 450

Though IlluminaHiSeq_WGBS is mentioned as an argument for platform in https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/vignettes/TCGAbiolinks/inst/doc/query.html, and Bisulfire-seq data is available for TCGA-COAD in the GDC Legacy archive, why am I not able to query it through TCGAbiolinks ?

Thank you

The correct code to access WGBS would be:

query <- GDCquery(project = c("TCGA-COAD"),
                  legacy = TRUE,
                  data.category = "DNA methylation",
                  data.type = "Methylation percentage",
                  experimental.strategy = "Bisulfite-Seq")

However there is no Recurrent Solid Tumor for COAD WGBS.

However, there is no Recurrent Solid Tumor for COAD WGBS.
