1 Getting started

brgedata includes a collection of BRGE omic and exposome data from the same cohort. The diferent objects guarantees a minimum of samples in common between all sets.

Data available in this R package:

Data Type Number of Samples Number of Features Technology Object Name Class
Exposome 110 15 brge_expo ExposomeSet
Transcriptome 75 67528 Affymetrix HTA 2.0 brge_gexp ExpressionSet
Methylome 20 392277 Illumina Human Methylation 450K brge_methy GenomicRatioSet
Proteome 90 47 brge_prot ExpressionSet

sex and age was included as phenotipic data in each set. Moreover, the ExposomeSet includes asthma status and rhinitis status of each sample.

2 Data Resources
