[R] Using read.table for importing gz file

[Spencer Brackett]

Hello,

I am trying to read the following Xena dataset into R for data analysis:
https://tcga.xenahubs.net/download/TCGA.GBMLGG.sampleMap/HumanMethylation450.gz

I tried to run the following read.table(gzfile("HumanMethylation450.gz")),
but R ended up crashing as a result.

Is there perhaps a way to use read.table with fread in some way to do this?

Many thanks,

Spencer
