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
