The fact that the CCLE RNAseq data has genes in columns and cell lines in rows makes the data very hard to work with in almost every program.

Is there any publicly available version of these data with the genes in rows instead of columns?

Thanks

Were you unable to get it open in R studio like we discussed in the other thread?

> Hello, I have 2 questions: Do others have problems opening RNAseq transcript .csv files? I have tried everything to open them, and my computer keeps “running out of memory” before the file opens. Why does the CCLE have genes in columns and cell lines in rows? It seems like it would be easier to work with the genes if it were the other way around

What other program besides excel are you trying to open it with?
