Dear TCGA Colleagues, Version 2011_12_30 of the Firehose stddata package has been uploaded and will be available in the tcga4yeo tree pending internal mirroring by the DCC. This was the second of our December runs, and was the basis for our December analysis run that has also completed and will be uploaded within the next 1-2 days pending final QC. For more information, please consult our stddata dashboard at https://confluence.broadinstitute.org/display/GDAC/Status-Data+Runs As the release notes page indicate, our counts increased slightly for most datatypes, with the exception of MAFs where we corrected an error that resulted in the elimination of 110 spurious LUAD mutation samples. Regards, Michael S. Noble
