I am pretty sure CPT is from CPTAC, and HCM is from HCMI. Neither are TCGA projects. Btw, using barcode is not a good habit in general. I know there were a few instances of sample type updates in TCGA before. Given sample type is encoded in barcode and some of the file name, this created quite some difficulties for TCGA DCC.

Hi, you can search for these here: https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/

They seem to be from Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC)

Yes, indeed they are from the "Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium". I downloaded the metadata and it helped me. Thanks Sumit

Yeah sure, dear. It was my first question and thought that it may bring immediate attention. Although latter I resolved this issue myself by downloading the metadata using payload and API. I appreciate your help and guidance. Thank you Sumit

Please avoid terms like "dear". This is a formal, professional setting and these words are of a more personal/intimate nature.
