TCGA COAD and READ annotations missing from GDC commons?

I used to download data from the old TCGA annotations manager to identify DNU cases, but I could not find it in the either the GDC data portal or GDC Legacy Archive. Any suggestion?

Such annotation still exist in GDC as "annotation" nodes in the GDC Database, and queryable using APIs. As all metadata in GDC are maintained in a single Graph Database and accessible by API (and UI), there are no separate "annotation database" or "annotation manager" in GDC.

Some alternatives:

For some reason, some of the data didn't port over to GDC from the old TCGA portal.

I had a similar question earlier: Why is TCGA Genomic Data Commons missing some data?

Thank you, igor! I will email GDC support as well to see how they were doing on porting old data.
