TCGA UUID change back to TCGAbarcode

Question

[Peter Chung]

I downloaded the RNA Seq data TCGA Legacy Archive, all the rsem.gene.normalized_results is UUID, how can I know the TCGA barcode back because I can't identify the normal samples and tumor samples. But the isoform.quantitifcation has the TCGA barcode name, so i was confused, can anyone explain it to me?

Thank you so much.
