TCGAquery_clinic error #8
Comments
This happens because of server's maintanance problem. Other packages will give you the same problem. There is actually no easy solution until the server is back to fix our package. But, you can use RTCGA (I believe it has downloaded all the data and put it into Bioconductor) or RTCGAtoolbox (uses GDAC firehose as source) packages for the moment to get the old data. |
Hi, Yeah it is really a pitty that the package is currently not working, especially as I just started to get a grasp of it (I'm actually very new to R). I contacted the NCBI site, but they weren't able to tell when they are back up again. However, they told me that the data portal on TCGA will go away in July and will be available through GDC. So I guess the code will have to be modified accordingly, and hope that you guys keep up the good work enabling non-experienced user like myself to perform analysis on TCGA data. |
Thank you for your interest in our package. Yes we are aware of this new \hn Sent from my nexus 6p

Our team updated TCGAbiolinks to work with the new GDC portal. We had to rewrite almost all the code again, but we hope this will help improve our tool which we are dedicated to improving.
The first one will get the indexed clinical data, which is the same data if you download using "Download clinical" through GDC data portal. This function gives less information and can be retrieved in some minutes.
The second option is to parse the clinical xml files, which will give you all the clinical information. But downloading all the xml files will take some time.
