Scrub code to remove TCGA specificity #55

Open noblem opened 7 years ago

noblem commented 7 years ago

There are parts of the GDCtools code which either make reference to TCGA (in the comments) or directly assume TCGA context (in the code). Both of these are No-Nos, and need to be scrubbed from the code.

A good bit of progress was made on this, at least for gdc_loadfile, in commit https://github.com/broadinstitute/gdctools/commit/df437aba5baf8d4204a45577d4968ba6bf4e15fe

gdc_dice needs more work in this area
