alterlab-ieu alterlab-cbioportal
Query cBioPortal via its keyless REST API for cancer genomics across TCGA, GENIE, MSK-IMPACT and hundreds of studies — somatic mutations, copy-number alterations (GISTIC), mRNA/protein expression, structural variants, and patient-level clinical/survival data. Use when asked how often a gene is mutated/amplified/deleted in a tumor type, to profile oncogenes or tumor suppressors across cancers (pan-cancer alteration frequency), to pull patient-level mutations joined to OS/clinical outcomes, or to validate a cancer target from cohort genomics. For germline variant pathogenicity use alterlab-clinvar; for mutational-signature (SBS) decomposition use alterlab-cosmic; for CRISPR/RNAi gene-dependency use alterlab-depmap; for aggregated target-disease evidence use alterlab-opentargets. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
