Hi,

The following code used to work until yesterday evening (March 20th 2024).

The code downloads the PAAD TCGA data and extracts the z-score expression table.

Now, the loaded z-score expression table is filled with NA. There are also warnings during the download.

Has something changed in the way I should load this table?

Many thanks, Astrid

Hi Astrid,

I took a look at the data_mutations.txt and it looks like the Entrez_Gene_Id column is all NA.

FWIW, you can use downloadStudy and then untar to investigate the data in the files.

data_mutations <- read.delim("~/data/paad_tcga/data_mutations.txt", sep = "\t")
head(data_mutations)[, 1:5]
  Hugo_Symbol Entrez_Gene_Id        Center NCBI_Build Chromosome
1       MMS19             NA broad.mit.edu     GRCh37         10
2       UNC50             NA broad.mit.edu     GRCh37          2
3         ATM             NA broad.mit.edu     GRCh37         11
4      OR10G7             NA broad.mit.edu     GRCh37         11
5       ABTB3             NA broad.mit.edu     GRCh37         12
6        KRAS             NA broad.mit.edu     GRCh37         12

Note that paad[["mutations"]] is a RaggedExperiment and it only represents the first column in the mcols.

To represent a different column, you can use the i argument in assay:

assay(paad[["mutations"]], i = "Variant_Classification")[1:4, 1:4]
      TCGA-2J-AAB1-01     TCGA-2J-AAB4-01 TCGA-2J-AAB6-01 TCGA-2J-AAB8-01
EXPH5 "Frame_Shift_Ins"   NA              NA              NA             
MBD6  "Frame_Shift_Del"   NA              NA              NA             
PLEK  "Frame_Shift_Del"   NA              NA              NA             
NT5C2 "Missense_Mutation" NA              NA              NA

For more transformations, see the RaggedExperiment vignette and the ?RaggedExperiment::`assay-functions` documentation page.

Best regards,

Marcel

Hi Marcel,

Thanks for the quick answer.

To look at the z-score expression, I need to extract experiments(paad)[6] instead of experiments(paad)[8].

Has the order changed?

Best, Astrid

Hi Astrid,

Please always use named rather than numeric indices. It avoids issues as above. For me, experiment #8 is mutations.

> names(paad)[8]
[1] "mutations"

I suppose you meant to refer to :

assay(paad[["mrna_seq_v2_rsem_zscores_ref_all_samples"]])[1:3, 1:3]
             TCGA-2J-AAB1-01 TCGA-2J-AAB4-01 TCGA-2J-AAB6-01
LOC100130426         -2.3139         -2.3139         -2.3139
UBE2Q2P3              0.1625          1.6541         -1.7494
UBE2Q2P3              0.0103          0.0601         -0.9649
