R, Python and SQL TutorialsΒΆ
For ISB-CGC users who want to perform custom analyses by writing R or Python scripts, we have begun to assemble a set of examples in two public github repositories: examples-Python and examples-R. R users can work from the familiar environment of RStudio, and Python programmers can enjoy the richness available in IPython notebooks by taking advantage of the newly released Cloud Datalab
Note: That Cloud Datalab is a beta release, but Google has released documentation on how to install Cloud Datalab locally here and how to Run Cloud Datalab notebooks on Google Cloud Platform here .
These repositories contain numerous examples that will help you learn to access and analyze the TCGA data in BigQuery, as well as examples showing how to use our APIs to query the metadata and discover where to find the data that you are looking for in Google Cloud Storage.
In addition there is the Query of the Month Club where there are multiple examples of using SQL queries to analyze the data housed in BigQuery.
We encourage the community to provide feedback on these tutorials and also to add your own examples to enrich this public resource!
