In 2014, we developed TCGA-Assembler, a software pipeline for retrieval and processing of public TCGA data. In 2016, TCGA data were transferred from the TCGA data portal to the Genomic Data Commons (GDCs), which is supported by a different set of data storage and retrieval mechanisms. In addition, new proteomics data of TCGA samples have been generated by the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) program, which were not available for downloading through TCGA-Assembler. It is desirable to acquire and integrate data from both GDC and CPTAC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We develop TCGA-assembler 2 (TA2) to automatically download and integrate data from GDC and CPTAC. We make substantial improvement on the functionality of TA2 to enhance user experience and software performance. TA2 together with its previous version have helped more than 2000 researchers from 64 countries to access and utilize TCGA and CPTAC data in their research. Availability of TA2 will continue to allow existing and new users to conduct reproducible research based on TCGA and CPTAC data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>http:\/\/www.compgenome.org\/TCGA-Assembler\/ or https:\/\/github.com\/compgenome365\/TCGA-Assembler-2<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btx812","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,19]],"date-time":"2017-12-19T07:43:21Z","timestamp":1513669401000},"page":"1615-1617","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":187,"title":["TCGA-assembler 2: software pipeline for retrieval and processing of TCGA\/CPTAC data"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Lin","family":"Wei","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Program of Computational Genomics & Medicine, NorthShore University HealthSystem, Evanston, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhilin","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Mathematics & Statistics, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shengjie","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Program of Computational Genomics & Medicine, NorthShore University HealthSystem, Evanston, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5554-8637","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanxun","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Mathematics & Statistics, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yitan","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Program of Computational Genomics & Medicine, NorthShore University HealthSystem, Evanston, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Ji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Program of Computational Genomics & Medicine, NorthShore University HealthSystem, Evanston, IL, USA"},{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012713031867500_btx812-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"61","DOI":"10.1038\/nature11412","article-title":"Comprehensive molecular portraits of human breast tumours","volume":"490","author":"Cancer Genome Atlas Network","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"2023012713031867500_btx812-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e71.","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/gkv1507","article-title":"TCGAbiolinks: an R\/Bioconductor package for integrative analysis of TCGA data","volume":"44","author":"Colaprico","year":"2016","journal-title":"Nucleic Acids Res"},{"key":"2023012713031867500_btx812-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1154","DOI":"10.1074\/mcp.M400129-MCP200","article-title":"Multiplexed protein quantitation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using amine-reactive isobaric tagging reagents","volume":"3","author":"Ross","year":"2004","journal-title":"Mol.
