Retrieving GWAS information with R

I am trying to get specific disease-related information from the GWAS catalog. This can be done directly from the website via a spreadsheet download. But I was wondering if I could possibly do it programmatically in R. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

  • Checkout the function download.file() and the package rcurl (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RCurl/index.html) - this should do what you are looking for
