imageFeatureTCGA

imageFeatureTCGA imports pathology image analysis features from HoverNet and ProvGigaPath pipelines into MultiAssayExperiment objects for integrative cancer data analysis.

Key Features:

• Pipeline Data Import: Imports output data from HoverNet and ProvGigaPath pathology image analysis pipelines.
• Online Data Repository: Accesses pipeline output data hosted in a self-owned online repository.
• MultiAssayExperiment Integration: Incorporates imported pipeline data into existing MultiAssayExperiment instances from curatedTCGAData.

Scientific Applications:

• TCGA Integrative Analysis: Enables integration of pathology image features with multi-omics data from The Cancer Genome Atlas through curatedTCGAData.
• Computational Pathology: Facilitates downstream analysis of deep learning-derived cellular and tissue features from whole slide images.

Methodology:

The package retrieves pre-computed pipeline outputs from an online repository and imports them into MultiAssayExperiment data structures.
