Hello all,

I'm very new to working with bioinformatics so I apologize in advance for what may be an overly naive question.

I've been reading a lot of material lately hoping to be able to conduct my own bioinformatics survival analysis of a few differentially expressed genes in PDAC. After looking through many of the tutorials such as Survival analysis of TCGA patients integrating gene expression (RNASeq) data on survival analysis of TCGA patients integrating RNAseq data, I was wondering what new things could be learned from conducting your own survival analysis of TCGA data when on Firehose there are already analyses of nearly every TCGA cancer data set including correlations between mRNAseq data and survival rates in their "Clinical Analysis" pages.

Thanks
