TCGA barcodes

[Brady,Samuel Warren]

Hi cBio,

 

I am interested in knowing whether TCGA samples designated 11 (“Solid Tissue Normal”) represent adjacent normal tissue near the tissue.

 

For example, I have pairs of cancer/normal samples identified as follows:

 

TCGA-BH-A18P-11A (normal)

TCGA-BH-A18P-01A (breast cancer)

 

Is it safe to assume that the first one (11) is matched adjacent normal breast tissue while 01 is the breast cancer?

 

Thanks!

Hi Sam,

You are correct. A full description of TCGA barcodes is available here:
