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 http://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...
