CanDI - A global cancer data integrator

Installation

CanDI is now available on PyPI and can be installed with pip. Then, a command from CanDI will automatically download stable datasets from Dataverse.

# Package Installation & Prepare Datasets
pip install PyCanDI && candi-install

Downloaded and formatted datasets would organize this way:

.
├── config.ini # modified after Installation 
├── depmap
│   ├── CCLE_expression.csv
│   ├── CCLE_fusions.csv
│   ├── CCLE_gene_cn.csv
│   ├── CCLE_mutations.csv
│   ├── CCLE_RNAseq_reads.csv
│   ├── CRISPR_gene_dependency.csv
│   ├── CRISPR_gene_effect.csv
│   └── sample_info.csv
├── genes
│   └── gene_info.csv
└── locations
    └── merged_locations.csv

Note:

: Currently, DepMap API is not available for public use. Therefore, we are providing the preprocessed datasets for the users based on DepMap 21Q4 release. DepMap API will be available in the future to download the latest datasets.

Usage

Import CanDI into python

from CanDI import candi
