MSKCC CGDS Cancer Genomics Toolbox

Functions for retrieving data from the Cancer Genomics Data Server (CGDS) at MSKCC cBio.

You are now following this Submission

This toolbox provides direct access to cancer genomics data from within the MATLAB environment. The toolbox will query the Cancer Genomics Data Server Web API, provided by the Computational Biology Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and return data in a structured format.

A tutorial ('showdemo cgdstutorial') makes it easy to get started.
