#' Extract biospecimen data from the TCGA barcode
#'
#' This function uses the full TCGA barcode to return a data frame of the
#' data pertinent to laboratory variables such as vials, portions, analytes,
#' plates and the center.
#'
#' @param barcodes A character vector of TCGA barcodes
#' @return A \code{dataframe} with sample type, sample code, portion, plate,
#' and center columns.
