Transcriptomic tools to classify bladder tumours according to six published molecular classifications : Baylor[1], UNC[2], MDA[3], Lund[4], CIT-Curie[5], TCGA[6]

For now, you can cite the following bioRxiv preprint: bioRxiv 488460; doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/488460 https://github.com/cit-bioinfo/BLCAsubtyping

For the Consensus BLCA classification, please use the consensusMIBC package: https://github.com/cit-bioinfo/consensusMIBC

You may install this package with devtools:

require(devtools)
devtools::install_github("cit-bioinfo/BLCAsubtyping", build_vignettes = TRUE)

After installation, please refer to the vignette or function help files by calling:

library(BLCAsubtyping)
vignette("BLCAsubtyping")
? classify
