R data set: The Cancer Genome Atlas Gene Expression data

This compound data set comprises the following information from the The Cancer Genome Atlas:

• RNA-Seq counts for 60483 genes across 11093 samples
• HuEx 1.0 ST gene expression data for 18632 genes across 1211 samples
• clinical indicators for 11160 patients

All gene expression data is annotated across ENSEMBL, ENTREZ and symbols. Samples are annotated by TCGA barcodes.

To read the data set into R (requires 6 GB of RAM) use:

tcga <- readRDS("tcga.rds")
