Hi,

This is an example of reading TCGA-LAML data from maftools. Here is an example from "?maftools".

''' laml.maf = system.file('extdata', 'tcga_laml.maf.gz', package = 'maftools')

laml.clin = system.file('extdata', 'tcga_laml_annot.tsv', package = 'maftools')

laml = read.maf(maf = laml.maf, clinicalData = laml.clin) '''

This example worked well.

I want to analyze melanoma data, so I changed

''' skcm.maf = system.file('extdata', 'tcga_skcm.maf.gz', package = 'maftools') '''

but it does not work well.

Please let me know if you know how to solve this problem.
