100+ Curated Breast Cancer Gene Expression Data sets


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

AnnotatedBCGEData is an R Bioconductor package that provides access to more than 100 gene-expression datasets generated using microarray and RNA- sequencing technologies. We collected these datsets from public repositories, including Gene Expression Omnibus, ArrayExpress, and The Cancer Genome Atlas. Where feasible, we obtained and reprocessed the raw data using computational pipelines and annotations that were standardized and more updated than those used to process the data originally. Additionally, we annotated the sample metadata using oncology terms from the National Cancer Institute Thesaurus. This was necessary because different data submitters used different terminology to describe breast-cancer patients and samples. Mapping the metadata to ontology terms makes it possible for users to search the data using these standardized terms.
