cgds v0.1.5

CGDS-JS

A Node.js and browser module for querying the Cancer Genomics Data Server (CGDS), hosted by the Computational Biology Center at Memorial-Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). Read more about this service at the cBio Cancer Genomics Portal.

Example

var CGDS, cgds;
CGDS = require("cgds");
cgds = new CGDS();
cgds.getMutationData("brca_tcga_mutations", ["TP53", "GATA3"], "brca_tcga_all", function (err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

Usage

Node.js

1. Install it:

   npm install cgds

2. Require it:

   var CGDS = require("cgds");

3. Instantiate a CGDS client:

   var cgds = new CGDS();

4. See below for a list of methods.

Browser

1. Include it:

   <script src="http://agrueneberg.github.io/CGDS-JS/cgds.min.js"></script>

2. Require it:

   var CGDS = require("cgds");

3. Instantiate a CGDS client (you will need a CORS proxy such as Proxer for this):

   var cgds = new CGDS({
       proxy: "http://example.com/corsproxy?url="
   });
