bigaspinosalab/resources_crc_metacohort_generation

This repository documents an R-script workflow for assembling a colorectal cancer metacohort from seven GEO studies. The clinical-data branch retrieves patient phenotypes, uses shared functions, and removes records lacking DFS information and duplicate samples. A separate expression branch downloads CEL files, normalizes expression data, and removes batch effects. The documented result combines phenotype and expression data for 1,118 patients. Source excerpts were unavailable, so the graph follows README-documented responsibilities and omits unverified implementation details and connections between branches.
