Interface code to interact with data from the Ovara.net biobank.

Project description

Introduction

The marburg_biobank python module offers a high level interface to the data sets stored in the [Ovarian Cancer Effusion Biobank and Database])(https://www.ovara.net/biobank).

The basic usage is as follows:

import marburg_biobank
db = marburg_biobank.OvcaBiobank("marburg_ovca_revision_5.zip") #  you need to download that file from your biobank.
print(db.list_datasets())
df_wide = db.get_wide('transcriptomics/rnaseq')  # to retrieve the data in a one sample per column / one row per measured variable format
df_tall = db.get_dataset('transcriptomics/rnaseq') # to retrieve the data in one row per data point format

Data formats available

wide

Using db.get_wide(dataset):

A pandas DataFrame that looks like this

Index

Patient12, TAM

Patient12, TU

PatientX, Compartment

VariableA, unitA

23.23

112.2

nan

VariableB, unitB

3.23

12.2

12.7

Caveats: If a dataset has only one compartment, the compartment information is ommited by get_wide(), unless .get_wide(standardized=True) is used. The same applies for the unit in the index. If there is a ‘name’ column in dataset, it get’s added to the index, regardless of the value of standardized.

tall

Using: db.get_dataset(dataset)):

A pandas DataFrame that looks like this

variable

unit

patient

compartment

value

optional columns…

variableA

unitA

Patient12

TAM

23.23

variableA

unitA

Patient12

TU

112.2

variableB

unitB

Patient13

TAM

3.23

variableB

unitB

Patient13

TU

12.2

This is the internal storage format.

compartments

Compartments are an abstraction on top of ‘cells’ and ‘bio-liquid’. Examples are Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs), Tumor cells (TU), ascites, blood… db.get_compartments() provides a list

Datasets

Datasets are organized two levels deep. The first one defines the *omics being measured (transcriptomics, proteomics, … or ‘clinical’), while the second levels defines the actual method (RNaseq, FACS,…)

Survival data is in clinical/survival. Please remember: if using https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lifelines, censored and event are negations of each other.

Excluded patients:

Patients are excluded from our studies on two levels.

  • On global level (for example because their malignancy was not high grade serous ovarian carcinoma)

  • On a per dataset level.

To query what patients are excluded use db.get_excluded_patients(dataset). Dataset may be an empty string, in which case you will receive only the globally excluded patients.

db.get_exclusion_reasons() Lists for each patient (and datasets) why they were excluded.
