cbioportal-database

You can retrieve somatic mutations and clinical data from TCGA cancer studies by querying the cBioPortal REST API. This allows you to extract survival rates, treatment data, and gene expression profiles for comprehensive genomic analysis directly.

Tumor mutation burden analysis evaluates the number of somatic mutations in a tumor genome. You can perform it using cBioPortal data by accessing mutation datasets via the API to calculate and compare mutation frequencies across different cancer types.

To list all available cancer types in the cBioPortal database, use the skill to query the cBioPortal REST API. It interfaces with the database to return a comprehensive catalog of thousands of cancer studies available for research.

Yes, you can use pandas and matplotlib to analyze gene expression profiles from cBioPortal. The skill utilizes these dependencies to structure the retrieved REST API data and generate visual plots for oncoprint queries and survival analysis.

Yes, this skill supports retrieving copy number alterations for specific cancer studies. It queries the cBioPortal REST API to access CNA data alongside somatic mutations and gene expression profiles for targeted genomic research.
