This Windows GUI tool generates a query from a list of TCGA ids to be used at portal.gdc.cancer.gov/query. It can also directly download the manifest file instead.
Select a file containing a list of TCGA ids. Ids can be quoted or unquoted. Only the first 12 characters of each ID is used.
Input file:
TCGA-05-4250
"TCGA-05-4405"
TCGA-05-4415-0192
"TCGA-05-4417-0164"
The type of files to query. Either mRNA (.htseq.counts, .FPKM.txt, and .FPKM-UQ.txt) miRNA (.isoforms.quantification.txt) or both.
The query will be copied to the user's clipboard, which can be pasted at portal.gdc.cancer.gov/query. Keep in mind longer queries are slow on the website; using the Download Manifest feature is ideal.
Query type: mRNA Clipboard output:
files.file_name in ["*.htseq.counts*", "*.FPKM.txt*", "*.FPKM-UQ.txt*"] and cases.project.program.name in ["TCGA"] and cases.submitter_id in ["TCGA-05-4250","TCGA-05-4405","","TCGA-05-4415","","TCGA-05-4417"]
Creates a file to download the a manifest containing all of the files found by the query. Requires an internet connection to function. Note: if the file name the user selects to save the manifest to already exists, a new file will be created with a version number appended.
Query type: mRNA
Manifest output:
id filename md5 size state
