Dear TCGA Colleagues,

The April 2012 Firehose analysis run has been uploaded and will be available in
the protected data tree pending internal mirroring by the DCC.  This analysis
run was based upon version 2012_04_25 of the Firehose stddata package, and is
described in more detail on our site at

			http://gdac.broadinstitute.org

The highlights of this run are given below and in the dashboard release notes.
If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to send them to
our gdac@broadinstitute.org mailing list.


Regards,
Michael S. Noble
Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard

	. Doubled our 100% success rate by eliminating vacuous failures when zero
	  data of given type are available
	. 3 new analyses performed (with output reports) for BLCA:  MutSig, and
	  CNMF and consensus clustering for mRNAseq
	. Paradigm output file merge_merged.tab renamed to InferredPathwayLevels.tab
	  to more accurately identify its contents.
	. RNA-Seq preprocessing pipeline results now packaged for DCC upload
	. Intermediate expression clustering analysis results now packaged for DCC
	. GISTIC inputs listed in report & reference files now packaged for DCC.
