I am trying to download gene level copy number data from GDC for TCGA-COAD cases using the following code. I noticed what is called "DeepDel" on the web portal shows as a copy number of 1 in the downloaded TCGAbiolinks downloaded data. I was wondering if I am interpreting this data incorrectly or if I might have downloaded the wrong data for this?
Eg. Copy number data for the gene WRN in the TCGA-COAD sample: TCGA-G4-6320:
Hello,
I am trying to download gene level copy number data from GDC for TCGA-COAD cases using the following code. I noticed what is called "DeepDel" on the web portal shows as a copy number of 1 in the downloaded TCGAbiolinks downloaded data. I was wondering if I am interpreting this data incorrectly or if I might have downloaded the wrong data for this?
Eg. Copy number data for the gene WRN in the TCGA-COAD sample: TCGA-G4-6320:
https://www.cbioportal.org/patient/summary?studyId=coadread_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018&caseId=TCGA-G4-6320 The web portal shows WRN has a copy number allele as "DeepDel" (should be copy number of 0)
However, with the following code, I get copy number of 1:
R version 4.2.2 (2022-10-31) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: CentOS Linux 7 (Core) TCGAbiolinks_2.25.3
