The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), a project of the National Cancer Institute and the National Human
Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), is the foundation of a large-scale collaborative effort to
understand the genomic changes that occur in cancer. For more information, see
http://cancergenome.nih.gov/dataportal/index.asp.

The files in this archive contain data derived from tissue samples of patients that were diagnosed
with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The data was produced by the Washington University School of Medicine
(genome.wustl.edu) Cancer Genomic Characterization Center (CGCC) using the Affymetrix Genome-Wide
Human SNP Array 6.0 platform.

This archive is the 3rd revision of the 1st archive and contains only MAGE-TAB data.

The MANIFEST.txt lists all the files, and their MD5 signatures, that should be included in this
complete archive.

A DESCRIPTION.txt file may be included by the submitting center that provides details about the data
files included in this archive.

The TCGA Data Primer provides an in depth description of TCGA data enterprise including data
classification and organization (including data types and data levels), how to access the data, and
a description of some possible ways to aggregate TCGA data.
