cbioportalR 1.1.0

CRAN release: 2023-10-05

  • Added available_sample_lists() function which returns all available sample list IDs for a given study ID
  • Added sample_list_id argument to available_samples() which returns all samples IDs in specific sample list within a study (#53).
  • Fixed {cli} errors to make package compatible with {cli} ≥ v3.4.1.
  • Added CNA segmentation retrieval endpoint accessible via get_segments_by_sample() and get_segments_by_study()). You can use get_genomics_by_*(return_segments = TRUE) as well to access this data.

cbioportalR 1.0.1

CRAN release: 2022-08-29

This version makes the package compatible with cBioPortal v5.0. Main updates include:

  • Fusion API endpoint URLs updated to use structural-variant instead of fusion in specification.
  • get_structural_variants_by_sample() and get_structural_variants_by_study() added as aliases for get_fusions_by_sample() and get_fusions_by_study(). These functions return the same results as their fusion counterparts and both names will be supported.
  • When functions include the data_type argument, structural_variant is now available as option. This will return the same results as fusion.
  • Output of get_genetics_by_sample() and get_genetics_by_study() functions are now named lists with names: mutation, cna, and structural_variant (changed from fusion) to be consistent with cBioPortal v5.0 naming conventions.
  • Tests and examples are no longer run on CRAN to protect from future changes to internal database. They are still run in Github Actions and examples are run on website.
  • Some examples adjusted to use a new cBioPortal profile name, as needed (e.g. prad_msk_2019_structural_variants -> prad_msk_2019_structural_variants)
  • bug fix in add_hugo argument of get_*_by_sample() functions.

cbioportalR 1.0.0

CRAN release: 2022-08-10

This is the first release submitted to CRAN, and includes all updates (listed below under versions 0.2.0 and 0.2.1) made since last Github release (0.1.0). Package has been overhauled since first release (0.1.0), and code will not be backwards compatible with that version.

Summary of Updates (since 0.1.0)

  • Authentication schema has been updated. Package-level environmental variable can now be set that specifies login credentials for that session
  • Functionality to pull fusion data has been added
  • Users can pull data by study ID, sample ID, and patient ID
  • Update get_genomics_by_sample() and related functions to pull all gene data available for select samples instead of pulling data for IMPACT genes only by default
  • Allow users to pass Hugo Symbols or Panel IDs to all get_genomics_by_sample() and related functions.

cbioportalR 0.2.1

  • Update get_genomics_by_sample() and related functions to pull all gene data available for selected sample by default instead of pulling data for IMPACT genes only by default. This will change default results when user does not specify genes, and could return more results than previously as they will include results for non IMPACT gene mutations, CNA or fusions, if available.
  • Allow users to pass Hugo Symbols to all get_genomics_by_sample() and related functions (previously had to specify by Entrez Gene ID or NULL) (#33)
  • Allow users to pass gene panels to all get_genomics_by_sample() and related functions with new panel argument. Previously could only specify genes by specified sets of gene IDs. (#15)
  • Update functions that take sample ID-study ID or patient ID-study ID pairs to be less stringent in what data frame columns names they accept. Previously these functions only accepted snake case (e.g. sample_id, study_id), but now accept any capitalization/delimiters (e.g. sampleID, sample id) (#16)

cbioportalR 0.2.0

  • Update internals of most functions with the exception of cbp_api()
  • Genomic data is all pulled by the common internal functions .get_data_by_study() and .get_data_by_sample() with wrappers for each data type
  • Updated function names to specify if user is pulling by study or sample ID
  • Authentication schema was updated. Package level environment variable now set instead of global variable for base URL specification
  • Updates to all documentation
  • Added extensive error messaging using {cli}
  • Added unit tests
  • Fixed fusion functionality. User can now pull fusion data by study ID or sample ID

cbioportalR 0.1.0

  • First release - basic API wrapping functionality only
