autoGDC 0.0.1

# autoGDC


This package was created for automatic downloading and processing of Genomic Data Commons data.

## Why? The GDC is a great resource; however the process of downloading the data and combining it into a simple format can be time consuming. This package makes this more streamlined.

Examples of a few questions that may be explored are provided:

• DNA Methylation Clock: What sites are chosen when training a DNA methylation clock model? How do they differ when different techniques are applied to retreive these sites?</li>

• RNA vs. DNA methylation: What is the correlation between transcription and DNAm for paired data?</li>

• DNA methylation sequence modeling: How much information is contained within sequence information of DNA methylation with respect to transcription?</li>

• Glioblastoma Differential Gene Expression: What is the DEG signature for glioblastoma patients?</li>

These examples can help provide as a basis for how to use this package effectively.
