i need to download specific platform data through tcgabiolinks is there a way to do ?
If you check this link:
https://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/vignettes/TCGAbiolinks/inst/doc/tcgaBiolinks.html#gdcdownload-downloading-gdc-data
you will find an example to download methylation data from all TCGA projects (all cancer types; see the code below). Note that you achieve your goal by implementing GDCquery and GDCdownload inside a for loop over all TCGA project names (which you identify using getGDCprojects). You would need to modify the GDCquery accordingly to specify the type of data you want.
Hope this help.
