Progenetix is an open data resource that provides curated individual cancer copy number variation (CNV) profiles along with associated metadata sourced from published oncogenomic studies and various data repositories. This vignette provides a comprehensive guide on accessing and utilizing metadata for samples or their corresponding individuals within the Progenetix database. If your focus lies in cancer cell lines, you can access data from cancercelllines.org by specifying the dataset
parameter as “cancercelllines”. This data repository originates from CNV profiling data of cell lines initially collected as part of Progenetix and currently includes additional types of genomic mutations.
library(pgxRpi)
pgxLoader
functionThis function loads various data from Progenetix
database.
The parameters of this function used in this tutorial:
type
A string specifying output data type. Available options are “biosample”, “individual”, “variant” or “frequency”.filters
Identifiers for cancer type, literature, cohorts, and age such as
c(“NCIT:C7376”, “pgx:icdom-98353”, “PMID:22824167”, “pgx:cohort-TCGAcancers”, “age:>=P50Y”). For more information about filters, see the documentation.filterLogic
A string specifying logic for combining multiple filters when query metadata. Available options are “AND” and “OR”. Default is “AND”. An exception is filters associated with age that always use AND logic when combined with any other filter, even if filterLogic = “OR”, which affects other filters.individual_id
Identifiers used in Progenetix database for identifying individuals.biosample_id
Identifiers used in Progenetix database for identifying biosamples.codematches
A logical value determining whether to exclude samples
from child concepts of specified filters that belong to cancer type/tissue encoding system (NCIt, icdom/t, Uberon).
If TRUE, retrieved samples only keep samples exactly encoded by specified filters.
Do not use this parameter when filters
include ontology-irrelevant filters such as PMID and cohort identifiers.
Default is FALSE.limit
Integer to specify the number of returned samples/individuals/coverage profiles for each filter.
Default is 0 (return all).skip
Integer to specify the number of skipped samples/individuals/coverage profiles for each filter.
E.g. if skip = 2, limit=500, the first 2*500 =1000 profiles are skipped and the next 500 profiles are returned.
Default is NULL (no skip).dataset
A string specifying the dataset to query. Default is “progenetix”. Other available options are “cancercelllines”.type, filters, filterLogic, individual_id, biosample_id, codematches, limit, skip, dataset
Filters are a significant enhancement to the Beacon query API, providing a mechanism for specifying rules to select records based on their field values. To learn more about how to utilize filters in Progenetix, please refer to the documentation.
The pgxFilter
function helps access available filters used in Progenetix. Here is the example use:
# access all filters
all_filters <- pgxFilter()
# get all prefix
all_prefix <- pgxFilter(return_all_prefix = TRUE)
# access specific filters based on prefix
ncit_filters <- pgxFilter(prefix="NCIT")
head(ncit_filters)
#> [1] "NCIT:C28076" "NCIT:C18000" "NCIT:C14158" "NCIT:C14161" "NCIT:C28077"
#> [6] "NCIT:C28078"
The following query is designed to retrieve metadata in Progenetix related to all samples of lung adenocarcinoma, utilizing a specific type of filter based on an NCIt code as an ontology identifier.
biosamples <- pgxLoader(type="biosample", filters = "NCIT:C3512")

The data contains many columns representing different aspects of sample information.
In Progenetix, biosample id and individual id serve as unique identifiers for biosamples and the corresponding individuals. You can obtain these IDs through metadata search with filters as described above, or through website interface query.
biosamples_2 <- pgxLoader(type="biosample", biosample_id = "pgxbs-kftvgioe",individual_id = "pgxind-kftx28q5")
metainfo <- c("biosample_id","individual_id","pubmed_id","followup_state_label","followup_time")
biosamples_2[metainfo]
#> biosample_id individual_id pubmed_id followup_state_label
#> 1 pgxbs-kftvgioe pgxind-kftx28pu PMID:24174329 alive (follow-up status)
#> 2 pgxbs-kftvgiom pgxind-kftx28q5 PMID:24174329 dead (follow-up status)
#> followup_time
#> 1 NA
#> 2 NA
It’s also possible to query by a combination of filters, biosample id, and individual id.
By default, it returns all related samples (limit=0). You can access a subset of them
via the parameter limit
and skip
. For example, if you want to access the first 1000 samples
, you can set limit
= 1000, skip
= 0.
biosamples_3 <- pgxLoader(type="biosample", filters = "NCIT:C3512",skip=0, limit = 1000)
# Dimension: Number of samples * features
print(dim(biosamples))
#> [1] 4641 49
print(dim(biosamples_3))
#> [1] 1000 49
The number of samples in specific group can be queried by pgxCount
function.
pgxCount(filters = "NCIT:C3512")
#> filters label total_count exact_match_count
#> 1 NCIT:C3512 Lung Adenocarcinoma 4641 4505
codematches
useThe NCIt code of retrieved samples doesn’t only contain specified filters but contains child terms.
unique(biosamples$histological_diagnosis_id)
#> [1] "NCIT:C3512" "NCIT:C5649" "NCIT:C5650" "NCIT:C7270" "NCIT:C2923"
#> [6] "NCIT:C7269" "NCIT:C7268"
Setting codematches
as TRUE allows this function to only return biosamples with exact match to the filter.
biosamples_4 <- pgxLoader(type="biosample", filters = "NCIT:C3512",codematches = TRUE)
unique(biosamples_4$histological_diagnosis_id)
#> [1] "NCIT:C3512"
filterLogic
useThis function supports querying samples that belong to multiple filters. For example, If you want to retrieve information about lung adenocarcinoma samples from the literature
PMID:24174329, you can specify multiple matching filters and set filterLogic
to “AND”.
biosamples_5 <- pgxLoader(type="biosample", filters = c("NCIT:C3512","PMID:24174329"),
filterLogic = "AND")
If you want to query metadata (e.g. survival data) of individuals where the samples of interest come from, you can follow the tutorial below.

individuals <- pgxLoader(type="individual",filters="NCIT:C3270")

pgxMetaplot
functionThis function generates a survival plot using metadata of individuals obtained by the pgxLoader
function.
The parameters of this function:
data
: The meatdata of individuals returned by pgxLoader
function.group_id
: A string specifying which column is used for grouping in the Kaplan-Meier plot.condition
: Condition for splitting individuals into younger and older groups. Only used if group_id
is age related.return_data
: A logical value determining whether to return the metadata used for plotting. Default is FALSE....
: Other parameters relevant to KM plot. These include pval
, pval.coord
, pval.method
, conf.int
, linetype
, and palette
(see ggsurvplot function from survminer package)Suppose you want to investigate whether there are survival differences between younger and older patients with a particular disease, you can query and visualize the relevant information as follows:
# query metadata of individuals with lung adenocarcinoma
luad_inds <- pgxLoader(type="individual",filters="NCIT:C3512")
# use 65 years old as the splitting condition
pgxMetaplot(data=luad_inds, group_id="age_iso", condition="P65Y", pval=TRUE)
It’s noted that not all individuals have available survival data. If you set return_data
to TRUE
,
the function will return the metadata of individuals used for the plot.
