Datasets were downloaded with the use of RTCGA::downloadTCGA() function and were transposed with RTCGA::readTCGA() function.

The package contains following datasets, which names corresponds to: the cohort type, data type and release date. Cohort types can be checked with RTCGA::infoTCGA(), release dates with RTCGA::checkTCGA('Dates') and data types with e.g. RTCGA::checkTCGA('DataSets', 'BRCA') calls. The used data type for this package was Merge_Clinical.Level_1 - all those information are included in the DESCRIPTION file.
