Hi all,

I would like to download processed miRNA expression levels for different cancers from TCGA. I was wondering whether is there any package such that I can use it to download data?

I tried to download manually from ICGC, but miRNAs are not annotated.

I was wondering whether can you help me with that?

Yes there is one, have you tried TCGA2STAT. This should help you to get both count data or microarray intesities or even normalized expression (RPKM/FPKM) for cancer you are looking for. Just look up to the TCGA GDC portal to understand what data is first available for your desired cancer. When you say processed, I reckon it will be count data if its RNASeq and not normalized since you want to perform the statistical tests on them. However, I fear you will find more microarray intensity values on TCGA for miRNA rather than RNASeq.
