Dear TCGA Colleagues, Version 2012_06_06 of the Firehose stddata package has been released 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. Regards, Michael S. Noble Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 526 new miRseq samples and 153 new clinical samples - Mutation_Packager_Coverage task: . Use soft links instead of packing multiple copies of identical coverage files, for dramatic disk savings: e.g. reduced archive size from 58Mb to 2 Mb for 28 BLCA samples, from 697Mb to 3 Mb for 248 UCEC samples, etc! . Valid SDRF now included in DCC archive - Mutation_Packager_Calls task now includes valid SDRF in DCC archive - Merge_Clinical task now includes valid SDRF in DCC archive
