Article Title: Before and After: A Comparison of Legacy and Harmonized TCGA Data at the Genomic Data Commons
doi: 10.1016/j.cels.2019.06.006
Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Overview of processing steps (rows) and data sets (columns). GDC legacy data and PanCancer Atlas data were derived from the TCGA quantification-level data. GDC harmonized data were regenerated from TCGA sequence data, using an updated version of the TCGA sequence data processing pipeline10. QC comparisons were done between legacy TCGA hg19 and GDC hg38 harmonized data. Library construction protocols: FT: the flow-through from poly(A) mRNA purification, and TR: Total RNA. Asterisks indicate that while the source data were generated using v16 miRBase annotations, names reported for stem-loops and 5p/3p mature strands, in TCGA publications, may be from a more recent miRBase version; in contrast to names, miRBase MI and MIMAT identifiers are stable. B-F) Results of QC comparisons for GDC miRNA-seq data. B) Distribution of rank correlation coefficients for hg19 vs. hg38 reads-per-million normalized abundance (RPMs) for stem-loops across all cancer types and miRNAs. C) Comparison of hg19 vs. hg38 median RPMs for stem-loops. The red circles highlight has-mir-21 and two hsa-mir-24 family members, see (D-F). D-F) RPM comparisons for mature strands. Dots represent samples, and are colored to indicate the sequencing instrument (GAII or HiSeq). Schematics below the RPM scatterplots show miRNA stem-loops and cytoband locations for hsa-mir-21, and for hsa-mir-24 family’s hsa-mir-24–1 and -2. Dashed lines highlight the 3p mature strand, MIMAT000080, whose reference sequence is identical in each family. G,H) Distributions of RPMs for legacy (GRCh37/hg19) and harmonized (GRCh38/hg38) mature strands and stem-loops, for primary tumours from the TCGA muscle-invasive bladder cancer (BLCA) cohort (n=409): G) has-mir-21, H) has-mir-24–1 and -2. P values are from Wilcoxon test. ‘SL’: stem-loop. See also Table S1.
