Hi, thank you very much for this library.

I seem to have noticed a mismatch on some UUID when converting from file_id. For example, '56467ebd-af89-4413-84b5-1e00699a2744' returns 'TCGA-2L-AAQM-01A-11D-A396-01' but the GDC portal returns 'TCGA-IB-A5SO' instead. I am converting the masked copy number segment data and I noticed that a number of these mismatch comes from those cases with multiple aliquots. Could you confirm this or perhaps I have done something wrong?

My code is simply: UUIDtoBarcode('56467ebd-af89-4413-84b5-1e00699a2744', fromtype = "fileid")

Thank you in advance.

The UUID points to a file with multiple barcodes. Screenshot at 09-41-13
