LUAD clinical data has a parameter paper_iCluster.Group. What does it stand for, I can't find the definition anywhere

How do I disable email notifications after job completion?

Hi, I'm doing somatic mutation calling of a TCGA patient TCGA-AR-A1AO and am using the BAM file in databrower. I'm using the BAM files TCGA-AR-A1AO-10A-01D-A12Q-09_IlluminaGA-DNASeq_exome_gdc_realn.bam uuid:30f1d9e3-e6a5-44b6-846c-1497806d301c size: 27.03GB TCGA-AR-A1AO-01A-01D-A12Q-09_IlluminaGA-DNASeq_exome_gdc_realn.bam uuid: 33eeb804-ca8b-491e-8221-a285743be692 size: 25.53GB However, on GDC portal, the files are 29.02GB and 27.41GB respectively. I wonder if those files are really up to date as the file sizes are different and my somatic mutation calling result using Varscan2 is missing variants comparing to GDC results(Under same parameters and inputs.) It is just confusing so I am troubleshooting right now. Woule you please help me on this? Thanks! Best, Stella

Hi! I am analyzing the TCGA MAF files using terminal in Data cruncher. Some MAF files are .gz format and I have to unzip them. But it's a read-only file system. Would you please help find a solution? Thank you! Best, Yiyun

Hi! I am recently using the Varscan2 workflow from BAM to do somatic mutation calling of TCGA GRch38 BAM files. However, the output high confidence vcf files is only a few kb large. One of the patient I was looking, TCGA-AR-A1AO has around 6000 mutations called in the MuTect vcf but only have 300 mutations in my output. I didn't change any parameters. I wonder if it's the problem of input files but I was just using the tumor-normal bam in TCGA.

I've used centrifuge locally to generate an index based on the GenBank database. The output of this operation is 4 files with the *.cf extension. once I try to use them to run a centrifuge run on the cloud it asks for the index in tar.gz format. what does it mean? Then I'm trying to run the indexing on the cloud but I've found only a pipe to use RefSeq but not GenBank and in general, I would like to do it locally to have more freedom. now I'm running this script on the cloud: "Reference Index Creation " to create an index based on RefSeq and have the output in tar format but it is not exactly what I want to do. there is a way to have the index in tar format with centrifuge locally or to use genbank database in this cloud app to generate the index?

Greetings. I was wondering if you could help me. I have a number of files in a project that I am on that I would like to copy to an Amazon S3 bucket. I have mounted the bucket on a volume. However, it is not clear how to copy the files to the bucket. While https://docs.cancergenomicscloud.org/docs/aws-cloud-storage-tutorial#move-file-from-project shows how to move a particular file, I would like to move many files. Is this something that can be done via the Cancer Genomics Cloud GUI/web interface, or is there is some link showing me how it can be done? Many thanks!

Hi, I'm using STAR genome generate and STAR from public apps (both 2.7.0e) to align a human RNA-seq data (uploaded privately) and I'm using GRCh38.primary_assembly.genome.fa and gencode.v32.annotation.gtf as the reference genome and gene annotation file for genome indices generation. I keep getting this error: Command mkdir genomeDir && STAR --runMode genomeGenerate --genomeDir ./genomeDir --runThreadN 20 --genomeChrBinNbits 16 --limitGenomeGenerateRAM 60000000000 --genomeFastaFiles /sbgenomics/workspaces/2bc67190-cbb2-43ba-866b-ca9e77ce024a/tasks/a72a496a-3859-480c-8de1-31c0e332b50e/star_genome_generate_2_7_0e/GRCh38.primary_assembly.genome.fa --sjdbGTFfile /sbgenomics/workspaces/2bc67190-cbb2-43ba-866b-ca9e77ce024a/tasks/a72a496a-3859-480c-8de1-31c0e332b50e/star_genome_generate_2_7_0e/gencode.v32.annotation.gtf && tar -vcf GRCh38.primary_assembly.genome.gencode.v32.annotation.star-2.7.0e-index-archive.tar ./genomeDir && mv Log.out Log.out.log failed with exit code 137. Can someone tell me how to solve this? Thank you!

Hi CGC Team, I am planning to use the tissue slides and the gene expression data from TCGA. Therefore I need the connections between the two units. Since the TCGA barcodes sometimes don't match (e.g. if the portion number is different), I want to use the metadata to get this information. I created the query for it and tried to download the connections. But if I export the corresponding file, I can only download up to 3000 lines. That would be enough, but if I drop all duplicates, I only have 100 lines. Is there a way to download the hole table directly from the query? Best regards, Lena

Hello, I tried to do my own analysis on BAM files from SGDP project. Due to incompatible fasta file used to generate BAM file all my jobs encounter error. Therefore, I would like to ask you if you could please let me know how can I find the true reference fasta file this project.

Hi, I want to know how to pull image from CGC repository. Taken STAR as an example, I had tried to use "docker run -ti cgc-images.sbgenomics.com/admin/sbg-public-data/rna-seq-alignment-star-2-5-4b", but it didn't work. Can anyone tell me how to do, thanks in advance!

I have download TCGA COAD expression data file which have data like shown below. How these values are calculated and what does means by these values. Hybridization REF TCGA-AA-A00E-01A-01R-A002-07 Composite Element REF log2 lowess normalized (cy5/cy3) collapsed by gene symbol ELMO2 -0.201 CREB3L1 2.3005 RPS11 -0.080375 PNMA1 -1.23175

I got the HER2, ER, PR status of BRCA patients from the BRCA TCGA publication supplementary: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature11412#supplementary-information filename: TCGA_Supplementary Tables 1-4.csv column: HER2_Final_Status But since it is from 2012, after some months, I downloaded the newer clinical data from cbioportal**: http://www.cbioportal.org/study?id=brca_tcga#clinical filename: data_bcr_clinical_data_patient.txt columns: IHC-Status, HER2 fish status However, I noticed that hundreds patients had different her2 status then they had in the old tcga publication: Barcode IHC-status(cbioportal) Her2 fish status (cbioportal) HER2_Final_Status(tcga publication) TCGA-A1-A0SH Equivocal Negative Negative TCGA-A2-A04U Negative Positive Negative TCGA-A2-A0T2 Negative Not Evaluated Negative TCGA-A8-A06R Positive Positive Equivocal At first, I thought there is a method to convert both ihc and fish statuses into one (final status). But I failed to find such method. In TCGA-A1-A0SH, it seems Fish is prefered. In TCGA-A2-A04U , it seems it is IHC. in TCGA-A8-A06R it is neither. **I verified that for those 4 patients, her2 status is consistent between cbioportal and current TCGA clinical files. (her2_fish_status, her2_status_by_ihc in clinical files) Thanks in advance, Maor

H! I have been creating workflow which consists three main steps ( SAMtools View, SAMtools fadix and SAMtools Mpileup). Firstly, with the SAMtools View I filtered the input bam-file based on a bed-file that contains special regions of the third and fifteenth chromosomes. The input bam-file already aligned and sorted I took from the database. The bed-file was download from my computer and the firs line looks like this (3 193593144 193697811). After that the SAMtools Mpileup took file that contain only necessary chromosomes and the file with the indexed reference (as a reference, I used ucsc.hg19.fasta from the database). At the end of the workflow, I expect to see vcf-file with that contains information about the reference and alternative nucleotide of the third and fifteenth chromosomes. Unfortunately, I get the described file, but there are N in place of the reference allele. Please help me understand what is wrong with my reference file

I've set up a Volume to access files from a bucket I have under my own AWS account and copied a file into a project. Does this copy incur storage charges of its own?

Hi, I've built a simple tool using R, pushed it to the CGC repository and ran it. However, I have an issue with retrieving the outputs. It seems as the system cannot find them. For now, the tool produces two files: one called model.pdf and another model.txt. I set the glob values (outputs tab in the tool editor) to model.pdf and model.txt since their names are static. My initial thought of the issue was a wrong working directory. I couldn't find more details in the documentation. - How do I know, what is the working directory of the tool for the current analysis? Can I extract this information from the job or self variable? - Should provide information to mount specific directory? - What else could be wrong? For instance, I can successfully retrieve the stdout.txt (caught standard output) file. Also, the job.tree.log file shows stdout.txt available but no model.pdf nor model.txt. Thank you for the help.

I have trouble matching WSI slides to their grade, or TNM. For example, patient: TCGA-BC-A110 has three slide samples: Sample TCGA-BC-A110-01Z (Primary Tumor) Sample TCGA-BC-A110-01A (Primary Tumor) Sample TCGA-BC-A110-11A (Normal tissue) Question 1: Is it correct samples ending with A were all sampled together? Question 2: Can I know which were sampled first? Samples ending with A, or Z? [Pathology report exist only for A, with conclusion of Grade I. Clinical file nationwidechildrens.org_clinical.TCGA-BC-A110.xml states patient had cancer with grade I, and later a reoccurence. It means A is the first tumor event, and Z the second?] Question 3: I noticed pathology reports are never available for Z samples, and only for A. Is there a reason?

Hi! I have a tool which analyzes .bam files and requires .bai files as secondary files. The secondary files settings are ok as the tool works well when a run on a single file is performed. However, when i try to make a batch task, it doesn't work and the error log says "unable to find index file for example.bam" or something like this. Is it a known bug? is there a way to overcome this problem? Thanks a lot!

Hello, I am trying to run SomaticSniper and have uploaded a Normal BAM, Tumor BAM and Reference Sequence (.fasta). The run failed with exit code 139. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you!
