Dear TCGA Colleagues,

Version 2012_04_25 of the Firehose stddata package has been uploaded and will
be available in the protected data tree pending internal mirroring by the DCC.
Highlights of this run are given below, and in our dashboard release notes at

			http://gdac.broadinstitute.org

If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to send them to
our gdac@broadinstitute.org mailing list.

1)  Phase 2 SDRFs implementation: all Merge_<platform> pipelines now have SDRFs
    (Sclinical and MAF packages will be added next run)
2)  Redactions report now included on stddata dashboard
3)  Corrected 2 clinical issues: ensure vitalstatus==living implies
    days_to_death=NA, and reducing to 5 the # patients with days_to_death=0
4)  Reduced copy number sample count by 824, to elide premature counting of
    tangent-normalized SNP6 data (which will be supported in next data run)

Note there was very little sample accrual since 4/12/2012, so unless you want
SDRFs you may wish to avoid downloading this release until May.
