gdc-rnaseq-tool: Tool to download/merge RNASeq data from the GDC Portal in matrices identified by TCGA barcode

Description:
The gdc-rnaseq-tool performs the following:
  1. Downloads RNA-Seq / miRNA-Seq data files using a GDC manifest file
  2. Unzips the files into separate folders identified by experimental strategy and bioinformatics workflow
  3. Merges the files into separate matrix files identified in the table below
The script will ignore any files in the manifest file that are not Transcriptome Profiling files generated from the GDC RNA-Seq / miRNA-Seq bioinformatics pipelines located on the GDC Main Portal:

Inputs and Outputs:
I/OFile
InputGDC Manifest File
OutputMerged_Counts.tsv (HTSeq - Counts)
Merged_FPKM.tsv (HTSeq - FPKM)
Merged_FPKM-UQ.tsv (HTSeq - FPKM-UQ)
Merged_miRNA_Counts.tsv
Merged_miRNA_rpmm.tsv
Requirements:
Quick Start:
  1. Download gdc-rnaseq-tool.py python script
  2. Download manifest containing RNA/miRNA expression files from https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/
  3. python3 gdc-rnaseq-tool.py <manifest_file>
Optional: Add --hugo to the command to include the HUGO gene symbol as a separate column.
python3 gdc-rnaseq-tool.py <manifest_file> --hugo
The GDC RNASeq tool produces matrices of merged RNA/MiRNA expression data given a manifest file.
Usage: python3 gdc-rnaseq-tool.py <manifest_file>
Notes:
  • A test manifest is provided for troubleshooting: python3 gdc-rnaseq-tool.py Test_Manifest.txt
  • Files are by default downloaded to the same folder as the manifest file that was provided

P and q values in RNA Seq

The q-value is an adjusted p-value, taking in to account the false discovery rate (FDR). Applying a FDR becomes necessary when we're measuring thousands of variables (e.g. gene expression levels) from a small sample set (e.g. a couple of individuals). A p-value of 0.05 implies that we are willing to accept that 5% of all tests will be false positives. An FDR-adjusted p-value (aka a q-value) of 0.05 implies that we are willing to accept that 5% of the tests found to be statistically significant (e.g. by p-value) will be false positives. Such an adjustment is necessary when we're making multiple tests on the same sample. See, for example, http://www.totallab.com/products/samespots/support/faq/pq-values.aspx. -HomeBrew What are p-values? The object of differential 2D expression analysis is to find those spots which show expression difference between groups, thereby signifying that they may be involved in some biological process of interest to the researcher. Due to chance, the...
