ImageFeatureTCGA Data Catalog

This dataset is a comprehensive catalog of cancer-related data files, primarily from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). It serves as a manifest, providing detailed metadata for a wide range of data types and cancer studies.

This catalog is useful for discovering and organizing TCGA data. It can help quickly identify and locate files based on specific criteria, such as cancer type (e.g., Glioblastoma multiforme; GBM), data category (e.g., Biospecimen), data type (e.g., Slide Image), or patient/sample information.

The data is structured as a tab-separated values (TSV) file with a header row. Each row in the file corresponds to a specific data file and contains detailed information in columns such as:

   * pipeline and format: The processing pipeline and file format (e.g., hovernet, geojson).   * filename and fullpath: The name and path of the data file.   * tcga_barcode, Case.ID, Sample.ID: Identifiers for the patient and sample.   * Data.Category and Data.Type: The category and type of the data (e.g., "Biospecimen", "Slide Image").   * Project.ID and Study.Name: The project and study associated with the data (e.g., "TCGA-GBM", "Glioblastoma multiforme").   * Source.Site: The institution that provided the data.   * Geographical information: city, state, country, lat, lon.

This catalog can be used to build cohorts of patients, select specific data types for analysis, or to programmatically access and organize large numbers of TCGA data files. It is useful for researchers who need to work with a diverse set of TCGA data and require a centralized and queryable metadata resource.
