I'm interested in one lncRNA. And would like to check its expression between tumor and normal in all cancer types of TCGA. Usually for protein coding genes I use cbioportal
. But some genes and lncRNAs information is not found in that.
So, are there any R
packages to check the expression of an interested gene/lncRNA in pan cancer wise?
But for TCGAbiolinks or RTCGA or other tools have to download all the complete data for all cancer types and then check the specific lncRNA expression. Is it possible to get only expression of that particular gene for all cancer types at a time?
Why would that be a problem? You would then have the data for future use whenever you needed it.
