Accessing tar File Data from cBioPortal

Question

[joseph.landry]

Hi All,

I am interested in extracting specific data sub sets (RNA-Seq, clinical data) from the Tar files down loaded from cBioPortal. Ideally I would like to keep the Tar files on my local computer and then extract sub sets of data from them when I need them. What is the best way to do this? Are their R packages that would do this from me?

Best,

Joe
