Hi all,

I am trying to extract the rrpa data for several of the cohorts but noticed in the files names that the data generation time seems a bit old (20160128):

curatedTCGAData("acc", version = "2.1.0")
snapshotDate(): 2023-04-24
See '?curatedTCGAData' for 'diseaseCode' and 'assays' inputs

So my question is if curatedTCGAData provides access to the latest data available in TCGA (within reason)?

Thank you for proving such a wonderful package!

Hi @adomingues
It provides data from the GDAC Firehose pipeline whose last run was in 2016. For more recently harmonized data, see the GenomicDataCommons package and/or https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/
Best,
Marcel

Thanks @LiNk-NY! I was already exploring GenomicDataCommons and have a question about it, but I will use the bioconductor forum for that
