What is FPKM UQ?
Description. Fragments Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads upper quartile (FPKM-UQ) is a RNA-Seq-based expression normalization method. The FPKM-UQ is based on a modified version of the FPKM normalization method.
What is HTSeq count?
The script htseq-count is a tool for RNA-Seq data analysis: Given a SAM/BAM file and a GTF or GFF file with gene models, it counts for each gene how many aligned reads overlap its exons.
What is TCGA analysis?
TCGA applies high-throughput genome analysis techniques to improve the ability to diagnose, treat, and prevent cancer through a better understanding of the genetic basis of this disease.
How big is the TCGA RNA Seq data volume?
On the other hand, it also contains multiple clinical data (such as the TNM grading of tumor, patient survival time, patients’ age, sex, race and so on). Until now, it has documented nearly 2.5PB multi-level data volume of more than 10,000 patients, stretching across over 30 tumor types.
Which is a typical task on RNA-Seq data?
A typical task on RNA-Seq data is differential expression (DE) analysis, based on some clinical phenotypes. This, in turn, requires normalization of the data, as in its raw format it may have batch effects and other artifacts.
How can I download data from TCGA database?
To download TCGA data with TCGAbiolinks, you need to follow 3 steps. First, you will query the TCGA database through R with the function GDCquery. This will allow you to investigate the data available at the TCGA database. Next, we use GDCdownload to download raw version of desired files into your computer.
