3/24 Update - Natalie and I met with Samantha this past Thursday to go over our progress with the RNASeq workflow on our chosen datasets (thank you, Samantha!!). We were able to begin the merge process using the raw counts from two of our datasets, GSE239379 (16 patients) and GSE211554 (12 patients) to compose a meta data table to reference in the merged DESeq object, to filter low impression genes and estimate size factors. Natalie and I will be meeting again on Monday to focus on the merged data table formatting, to create separate columns for the ensemble ID and the gene name, since one of the datasets combines this data into one value. Then, we will be merging by ensemble ID.

4/15 Update - Natalie and I have successfully merged the phenotype data available for each dataset with the raw count expression data. The two datasets that had treatment information available (GSE186332 and GSE154041) within the phenotype data files were converted to long format, and gene ID formats were converted from entrez/NCBI ID to ensemble ID using the hgnc package. The reference genome is HG 38 for both datasets. Natalie has reached out to the authors of the datasets to request additional patient demographic information, we have received a few responses but are still pending the information.
