Cancer data acquisition and processing for Project Cognoma

The data acquisition and analysis is executing by running Jupyter notebooks in the following order:

The execute.sh script executes the notebooks in order. After installing and activating the environment, run with the command bash execute.sh from the repository's root directory.

DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.3487685

The complete datasets created by this repository (data/expression-matrix.tsv.bz2 and data/mutation-matrix.tsv.bz2) are uploaded to figshare. Since this is a manual process, check the figshare REFERENCES section to see which commit these datasets derive from. In other words, the latest version on figshare may lag behind this repository.

Environment

This repository uses conda to manage its environment, which is named cognoma-cancer-data. The required packages and versions are listed in environment.yml. If as a developer, you require an additional package, add it to environment.yml.

The following commands install and activate the environment:

# Create or overwrite the cognoma-cancer-data conda environment
conda env create --file=environment.yml

# Activate the conda environment (assumes conda >= 4.4)
