File type selection works only partially #24

Closed alevax closed 7 years ago

alevax commented 7 years ago

If I select I want something from the project TARGET-AML it seems I can get results:

But it is not working when I am selecting something else like TARGET-NBL:

What could be the issue?

tiagochst commented 7 years ago

There might be a problem in GDC API. I'll need to open a ticket in GDC.

The Clinical data that is requested only returns 7 samples instead of the 151.

Here is the GDC answer.

We did some investigating and found that the file that was originally submitted to the GDC was incorrectly formatted and the import failed (this is why you only see 7 cases). We plan to update this information in the next import of our data, but in the meantime you should be able to access this clinical information from the following link:

@tiagochst , thanks. However, in the query I performed on the platform, I asked for the molecular data (count matrix), not the clinical data (that as far I understood is corrupted in the GDC API provider). I would say then that all the TARGET-NBL is non accessible until GDC will update their data/API.

tiagochst commented 7 years ago

I added an option to consider or not clinical data. If checked only samples with clinical data will be selected. Otherwise all samples will be selected.
