tcga.exp.convert {MVisAGe}

A Function for Reformatting TCGA mRNA Expression Matrices

Description

This function reformats mRNA expression matrices obtained from the Broad Institute's Firehose GDAC (https://gdac.broadinstitute.org/) so they can be used as input for mVisAGe functions.

Usage

tcga.exp.convert(exp.mat)

Arguments

exp.mat

A matrix of mRNA expression data. Typically illuminahiseq_rnaseqv2-RSEM_genes_normalized, or a subset thereof, including the header rows.

Value

A matrix of mRNA expression data (rows = genes, columns = samples) that is suitable for input to mVisAGe functions.

Examples

exp.mat = tcga.exp.convert(exp.mat)
