Cohorts Data in ICA Base

PreviousCompare CohortsNextOncology Walk-through

Last updated 3 days ago

ICA Cohorts data can be viewed in an ICA Project Base instance as a shared database. A shared database in ICA Base operates as a database view. To use this feature, enable Base for your project prior to starting any ICA Cohorts ingestions. See for more information on enabling this feature in your ICA Project.

ICA Cohorts Base Tables

After ingesting data into your project, select Phenotypic and Molecular data are available to view in Base. See for instruction on importing data sets into Cohorts.

  1. Post ingestion, data will be represented in Base.

  2. Select BASE from the ICA left-navigation and click Query.

  3. Under the New Query window, a list of tables is displayed. Expand the Shared Database for Project \<your project name\> .

  4. Cohorts tables will be displayed.

  5. To preview the table and fields click each view listed.

  6. Clicking any of these views then selecting PREVIEW on the right-hand side will show you a preview of the data in the tables.

If your ingestion includes Somatic variants, there will be two molecular tables: ANNOTATED_SOMATIC_MUTATIONS and ANNOTATED_VARIANTS. All ingestions will include a PHENOTYPE table.

The PHENOTYPE table includes a harmonized set that is collected across all data ingestions and is not representative of all data ingested for the Subject or Sample. Sample information is also displayed in this table, if applicable. Sample information drives the annotation process if molecular data is included in the ingestion. That data is stored in the PHENOTYPE table.
