SUPPLEMENTAL AUTHOR INFORMATION
Author ContributionsThe Cancer Genome Atlas research network contributed collectively to this study. Biospecimens were provided by the Tissue Source Sites and processed by the Biospecimen Core Resource. Data generation and analyses were performed by the Genome-Sequencing Centers, Cancer Genome-Characterization Centers and Genome Data Analysis Centers. All data were released through the Data Coordinating Center. The NCI and NHGRI project teams coordinated project activities.
