Data Integrity (NCBI SRA and TCGA)

Question

[umarfaruksahin]

Hello everyone!

I’m a beginner in bioinformatics, and I’m working on a project where I have sequencing data from the NCBI SRAdatabase. I also need clinical data (like survival, mutations) from TCGA to combine with my sequencing reads.

My question: Is there a straightforward way to match the SRA sample entries to their corresponding TCGA patient IDs? Do we have any universal or official ID system for linking the SRA and TCGA datasets together? Any advice or references would be greatly appreciated.

I have sequencing data from the NCBI SRAdatabase.

As in raw sequence data from dbGaP and not just counts? So you did get permission to download sequence from there. Otherwise can you provide some SRA accession examples?
