bioconductor-geoquery

This tool fetches microarray data directly from GEO database, based on the GEOQuery R package. Given a GSE accession ID, it returns an Rdata object containing the data and a text file (.cond file) summarizing the conditions of the experimen

GEOquery

Dependencies & Environment

Package-intrinsic requirements from the Bioconductor landing page — reproduce in any R environment.

  • Version: 2.80.0 · Bioconductor: 3.23 · R: ≥ 4.6
  • Depends: Biobase
  • Imports: readr, xml2, dplyr, data.table, tidyr, magrittr, limma, curl, rentrez, R.utils, stringr, SummarizedExperiment, S4Vectors, rvest, httr2
  • Install: BiocManager::install("GEOquery")

When to Use

  • Downloading a complete GEO Series (GSE) matrix directly into a Bioconductor ExpressionSet using getGEO.
  • Programmatically searching the GEO database for specific terms or metadata using searchGEO and searchFieldsGEO.
  • Retrieving NCBI's standardized, precomputed RNA-seq gene expression counts for human and mouse datasets using getRNASeqData.
  • Downloading supplementary files (e.g., raw single-cell .mtx or .h5 files, BED files) attached to GEO records using getGEOSuppFiles.

When NOT to Use

  • For processing raw FASTQ files from SRA. Use standard alignment/quantification tools instead, as GEOquery is designed to retrieve precomputed counts or matrices.
  • For analyzing local, non-GEO single-cell data. Use DropletUtils (e.g., read10xCounts) directly on your local files instead of routing through GEOquery.

Data Requirements

  • A valid GEO accession identifier (e.g., GSE2553 for a Series, GSM15789 for a Sample, GPL96 for a Platform, or GDS507 for a Dataset).
  • An active internet connection to access NCBI GEO FTP/HTTP servers.

Key Parameters

  • GEO (e.g., "GSE2553"): The primary GEO accession string passed to getGEO or getGEOSuppFiles.
  • GSEMatrix (default TRUE): Forces getGEO to use the faster, tab-delimited GSEMatrix files instead of the legacy SOFT format.
  • AnnotGPL (default TRUE): Automatically includes GPL (Platform) annotation when retrieving GSE records.
  • fetch_files (default TRUE): When set to FALSE in getGEOSuppFiles, it lists available supplementary files without downloading them.
  • filter_regex: A regular expression string passed to getGEOSuppFiles to download only specific file types (e.g., 'txt').
  • do.log2 (default TRUE): Applies a log2 transformation when converting a GDS object to an ExpressionSet using GDS2eSet.

Best Practices

  • Use GSEMatrix = TRUE (the default) when downloading GSEs, as parsing is 10-100x faster and memory usage is more efficient than legacy SOFT files.
  • Check if standardized RNA-seq quantifications are available using hasRNASeqQuantifications before attempting to download and process raw RNA-seq supplementary files.
  • When dealing with older GDS datasets, convert them immediately to modern Bioconductor structures using GDS2eSet (for ExpressionSet) or GDS2MA (for limma's MAList).
  • Use getGSEDataTables to extract additional metadata tables that might not be captured in the standard GSE structure.

Common Pitfalls

  • Assuming a GSE returns a single object: getGEO returns a list of ExpressionSet objects because a single GSE can contain experiments from multiple platforms; fix this by indexing the list (e.g., gse[[1]]).
  • Downloading massive supplementary files blindly: Running getGEOSuppFiles on a large GSE can download gigabytes of unwanted data; fix this by running with fetch_files = FALSE first to inspect the file list.
  • Missing single-cell matrix components: Downloading just the .mtx file without barcodes and features; fix this by downloading the full tarball or all related supplementary files, then using DropletUtils::read10xCounts on the extracted prefix.

Alternatives

  • DropletUtils: For reading the actual 10x single-cell files (read10xCounts) after GEOquery has downloaded them.
  • limma: For downstream differential expression analysis of the ExpressionSet or MAList objects generated by GEOquery.

The package contains functions for exploratory oligonucleotide array analysis. The dependence on tkWidgets only concerns few convenience functions. 'affy' is fully functional without it.

ASURAT is a software for single-cell data analysis. Using ASURAT, one can simultaneously perform unsupervised clustering and biological interpretation in terms of cell type, disease, biological process, and signaling pathway activity. Inputting a single-cell RNA-seq data and knowledge-based databases, such as Cell Ontology, Gene Ontology, KEGG, etc., ASURAT transforms gene expression tables into original multivariate tables, termed sign-by-sample matrices (SSMs).
