Hi,

I am attempting to download data but instead get a file with the extension '.tar.gz'. However, this is not a compressed file. It is a text file with the words:

{
  "message": "internal server error"
}

Below is the code I ran:

samples <- c("TCGA-BA-4074", "TCGA-BA-4075")

interesting.genes <- c("TP53", "PIK3CA", "FAT1")
query.exp <- GDCquery(project = "TCGA-HNSC",

                      legacy = TRUE,

                      data.category = "Gene expression",

                      data.type = "Gene expression quantification",

                      platform = "Illumina HiSeq",

                      file.type = "results",

                      experimental.strategy = "RNA-Seq",

                      barcode = samples)

GDCdownload(query.exp)​

Thanks for your help

Hi,

I was able to run the code here.Please, what is your session info? And what query.exp$results shows?

Best regards,

Tiago

So my actual gene list and sample list is longer (I can email you it if you would like but it is in the sam format as my posted code). From the download I get:

> query.exp <- GDCquery(project = "TCGA-HNSC",
+                       legacy = TRUE,
+                       data.category = "Gene expression",
+                       data.type = "Gene expression quantification",
+                       platform = "Illumina HiSeq",
+                       file.type = "results",
+                       experimental.strategy = "RNA-Seq",
+                       barcode = samples)
Accessing GDC. This might take a while...

Which TCGAbiolinks version do you have installed?

We had a problem a month ago in this part of the code. I'm just wondering if it is the old version.

Okay so I spoke too soon. The script is now stalling at a later step.

Now when I run the next steps I get :

Hi,

I believe the package version you have is old, that table print was removed some weeks ago. Could you update it please? 

Best regards,

Tiago

Thanks,

I rebuilt everything (from R up). I can get most of this to work but now I get:

> cnv <- TCGAbiolinks::getGistic("HNSC")​
Error: 'getGistic' is not an exported object from 'namespace:TCGAbiolinks'​

Any suggestions:)

This function was not exported. You will need to use three ":" cnv <- TCGAbiolinks:::getGistic("HNSC") The reason it is not exported is that it downloads from gdac firehose ( http://gdac.broadinstitute.org/) and it is aligned to hg19. I'm still waiting to see if GDC will provide level 4 data for copy number data, then I should export a function. If you need the other results for GISTIC please, either take a look on RTCGAtoolbox or the gdac firehose (http://gdac.broadinstitute.org/) Tiago Chedraoui Silva On Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 1:44 PM, jshelton [bioc] <noreply@bioconductor.org> wrote: > Activity on a post you are following on support.bioconductor.org > > User jshelton <https: support.bioconductor.org="" u="" 11836=""/> wrote Answer: > TCGAbiolinks GDCquery downloads a file that reads "message": "internal > server error" <https: support.bioconductor.org="" p="" 89370="" #89593="">: > > Thanks, > > I rebuilt everything (from R up).
