http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=1344 We're happy to report that our colleagues at the Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) have announced the new release of the NIF portal version 2.1 A re-posting of their announcement follows: Dear all, We are very pleased to announce the new release of the NIF portal version 2.1. Please visit www.neuinfo.org to explore the new site. This minor release includes the following improvements: * Resolved issues of multiple scroll bars by using a new layout scheme for the results page * Fixed the bug relating to mammals and primates in the selection of species from the gene preference section * Removed thumbnail images from GENSAT to improve consistency * Improved the handling of dots and slashes in indexes * Implemented a grid view in the databases tab now to automatically resize and fill in the empty space with data * Enabled the database tab to now show data from the first database in the list of results instead of a blank screen * Changed the layout of two “clear” buttons, no longer placed next to each other to avoid confusion * Fixed the paging issue with literature results You informed us of the bugs. We fixed them. * “When I right click on a Neurolex term in the expand box, it gives me the “show in NCBI” option but link doesn’t work” * “On the NIF Literature’s tab, the ‘More information’ link along the top is broken” * “Genes get duplicate synonyms” * “Genes should not allow expansion (Genes should not have a folder or allow expansion in the term tree)” * “Boolean conditions are getting mixed up in the Gene Query” * “For some queries e.g. Hippocampus the web results show the first page as blank although there is data on that page. The web result is blank, but moved to page 2 and page 2 displays results” * “Database results ’sort’ function not working (aside from the capitalization, numerical value issues) Release notes and known issues can be found available at https://confluence.crbs.ucsd.edu/display/NIF/2.1+Release+Notes More Information An introduction to NIF tutorial is available here http://www.neuinfo.org/tutorials/general_search/searchtext_tutorial.shtm.
