xenaPython

Python API for querying Xena Hub


Requirement

support python2 python3

Installation

pip install 'git+https://github.com/ucscXena/xenaPython'

Upgrade Installation

pip install --upgrade 'git+https://github.com/ucscXena/xenaPython'

Usage

>>> import xenaPython as xena

Examples

1: Query four samples and three identifers expression
import xenaPython as xena

hub = "https://toil.xenahubs.net"
dataset = "tcga_RSEM_gene_tpm"
samples = ["TCGA-02-0047-01","TCGA-02-0055-01","TCGA-02-2483-01","TCGA-02-2485-01"]
probes = ['ENSG00000282740.1', 'ENSG00000000005.5', 'ENSG00000000419.12']
[position, [ENSG00000282740_1, ENSG00000000005_5, ENSG00000000419_12]] = xena.dataset_probe_values(hub, dataset, samples, probes)
ENSG00000282740_1
2: Query four samples and three genes expression, when the dataset you want to query has a identifier-to-gene mapping (i.e. xena probeMap)
hub = "https://toil.xenahubs.net"
dataset = "tcga_RSEM_gene_tpm"
samples = ["TCGA-02-0047-01","TCGA-02-0055-01","TCGA-02-2483-01","TCGA-02-2485-01"]
genes =["TP53", "RB1", "PIK3CA"]
xena.dataset_gene_probe_avg(hub, dataset, samples, genes)
3: If the dataset does not have id-to-gene mapping, but the dataset used gene names as its identifier, you can query gene expression like example 1, example 2 will not work.
hub = "https://toil.xenahubs.net"
dataset = "tcga_RSEM_Hugo_norm_count"
samples = ["TCGA-02-0047-01","TCGA-02-0055-01","TCGA-02-2483-01","TCGA-02-2485-01"]
probes =["TP53", "RB1", "PIK3CA"]
[position, [TP53, RB1, PIK3CA]] = xena.dataset_probe_values (hub, dataset, samples, probes)
TP53
4: Find out the samples in a dataset
hub = "https://tcga.xenahubs.net"
dataset = "TCGA.BLCA.sampleMap/HiSeqV2"
xena.dataset_samples (hub, dataset, 10)
xena.dataset_samples (hub, dataset, None)
5: Find out the identifiers in a dataset
hub = "https://tcga.xenahubs.net"
dataset = "TCGA.BLCA.sampleMap/HiSeqV2"
xena.dataset_field (hub, dataset)
6. Find out the number of idnetifiers in a dataset
hub = "https://tcga.xenahubs.net"
dataset = "TCGA.BLCA.sampleMap/HiSeqV2"
xena.dataset_field_n (hub, dataset)
7. Get all the cohorts on a hub
hub = "https://tcga.xenahubs.net"
xena.all_cohorts(hub, [])
8. Get data of a particular clinical/phenotypic feature from a cohort. This is assume that all the clinical/phenotype data of the cohort is on a single hub.
two examples provided: a categorical feature and a continuous feature
def getFeatureCodes(hub, dataset, feature):
    # identify feature is categorical or continuous, if it is categorical, there will be codes associated with it, otherwise, codes will be none
    codes = xena.field_codes(hub, dataset, [feature])[0]['code']
    if codes:
        codes = codes.split('\t')
    return codes

def getClinicalData(hub, cohort, target_feature):
    # find out all the datafiles (i.e. datasets) belong to a cohort
    datasets = xena.dataset_list(hub, [cohort])
    # filter to just clinicalMatrix type of data files
    datasets = list(filter(lambda x: x['type'] == 'clinicalMatrix', datasets))
    # collect all the phynotype features and their associated dataset from all the clinicalMatrix datasets
    features = []
    for dataset in datasets:
        for feature in xena.dataset_field(hub, dataset['name']):
            features.append([feature, dataset['name']])
    # find the target_feature among all the features, and the dataset it comes from 
    xenafield = list(filter(lambda f: f[0] == target_feature, features))
    if len(xenafield) == 0:
        print (target_feature, "not found")
        return [None, None]
    elif len(xenafield) == 1:
        dataset = xenafield[0][1]
        # query to get all the data from the target_feature
        # first, get all the samples in the cohort (a bit slower) 
        # samples = xena.cohort_samples(hub, cohort, None)
        # all the samples in the dataset (a bit faster), either will work, 		
        samples = xena.dataset_samples(hub, dataset, None)
        # second, get the data
        [position, [data]] = xena.dataset_probe_values (hub, dataset, samples, [target_feature])
        # thrid, identify feature is categorical or continuous, if it is categorical, there will be codes associated with it,
        codes = getFeatureCodes(hub, dataset, target_feature)
        if codes:
            data = [codes[int(x)] if x != 'NaN' else 'NaN' for x in data]
        return [samples, data]
    else:
        print ("there are more than one features match", target_feature)
        return [None, None]

hub = 'https://tcga.xenahubs.net'
cohort = 'TCGA Ovarian Cancer (OV)'
target_feature = 'age_at_initial_pathologic_diagnosis'
target_feature = 'sample_type'
[samples, data] = getClinicalData(hub, cohort, target_feature)
samples[:10], data[:10]
9. Find out hub id, cohort id, dataset id
use xena browser datasets tool:  https://xenabrowser.net/datapages/

NAME

xenaPython - Methods for querying data from UCSC Xena hubs

DESCRIPTION

Data rows are associated with "sample" IDs.
Sample IDs are unique within a "cohort".
A "dataset" is a particular assay of a cohort, e.g. gene expression.
Datasets have associated metadata, specifying their data type and cohort.

There are three primary data types: dense matrix (samples by probes),
sparse (sample, position, variant), and segmented (sample, position, value).


Dense matrices can be genotypic or phenotypic. Phenotypic matrices have
associated field metadata (descriptive names, codes, etc.).

Genotypic matricies may have an associated probeMap, which maps probes to
genomic locations. If a matrix has hugo probeMap, the probes themselves
are gene names. Otherwise, a probeMap is used to map a gene location to a
set of probes.
