Dear community,

I got an error when used TCGAquery_recount2 from TCGAbiolinks. Here are the code and the error as below. I did some search for the error but did not figure out why and how to fix it out. Here is a link related the issue https://support.bioconductor.org/p/125586/ , but I did not find an answer there.

Could you give some clue why does this happen? Thanks a lot!

This works for me, and also the other command from the previous question. Can you please restart your R Session, your router, and/or your computer, and then try again.

I am using the same version of R as you, but on linux:

R version 4.0.3 (2020-10-10)
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
Running under: Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS

Matrix products: default
BLAS:   /usr/lib/atlas-base/atlas/libblas.so.3.0
LAPACK: /usr/lib/atlas-base/atlas/liblapack.so.3.0

I am using slightly older versions of the key packages, though:

other attached packages:
 [1] SummarizedExperiment_1.18.2 DelayedArray_0.14.1        
 [3] matrixStats_0.57.0          Biobase_2.48.0             
 [5] GenomicRanges_1.40.0        GenomeInfoDb_1.24.2        
 [7] IRanges_2.22.2              S4Vectors_0.26.1

fixed it finally, because of the very poor internet connects

Thank you so much!

But, I got another question. It is not related to this error.

I'd like to use the data from TCGA lung. But, after downloading, do you know how to differentiate the data from LUAD or LUSC? I tried to look the colData by colData(Lung_TCGA_recount2$tcga_lung)$project, but all are TCGA. Thanks a lot!

Lung_TCGA_recount2 <- TCGAquery_recount2(project = "tcga", tissue = "lung")

Hey, it seems to be in the following column:

Lung_TCGA_recount2 <- TCGAquery_recount2(project = 'tcga', tissue = 'lung')
table(Lung_TCGA_recount2$tcga_lung@colData$gdc_cases.project.name)

         Lung Adenocarcinoma Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma 
                         601                          555 

Also take a look at gdc_cases.project.project_id column

Kevin Blighe Sorry, one more question, which one is the information for TCGA sample barcodes, eg. "TCGA-B2-3924-01B-03R-A277-07". How can I get the information in this format?

In fact, "gdc_cases.samples.portions.analytes.aliquots.submitter_id" is the one (in TCGA-62-A471-01A-12R..) with most information that I can find. But, I still want to the full name or barcode in TCGA-LUAD.

Thanks a lot!

I am not sure about that. Perhaps TCGAutils has a way to do it. Otherwise, you could retrieve the biotab metadata from the GDC (for LUAD), import that to R, and then use that

Thanks a lot, the information from "gdc_cases.samples.portions.analytes.aliquots.submitter_id" should be enough. Thanks a lot!
