\description{Background rates for somatic mutations used in the
  Parsons et al. 2008 glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) study.}

\usage{data(ParsonsGBM08)}
\format{
  The background rates for somatic mutations used in the
  Parsons et al. GBM study, broken down by mutation type.
  The object is a data frame,
  with the variables representing the 25 different mutation types,
  and the rows specifying whether the estimates of the
  backgrond rates are "Upper," "Median," or "Lower."
