Final Push for Version 17

  • The text search index somehow got dropped, making keyword searches very slow. This has been fixed.
  • I have modified the BBH server to accept batch requests. When requesting BBH data, you can specify an SQL pattern instead of a feature ID. So, for example, fig|100226.1.% would compute BBHs for all features of Streptomyces coelicolor. To control the bandwidth in cases like this, you can also specify a list of target genomes. Only BBHs that land in the target genomes will be returned by the server. This dramatically improves the performance of the Signature Genes Tool.
  • The mini-forms on the search results page (NMPDR and GBrowse have been converted to fake buttons so that they work after a copy and paste and may be right-clicked to open the results in a new window or tab. They look like real buttons, but do not have an animated click effect.

These fixes, along with a whole bunch of web page improvements by Leslie, have been moved to the staging server.
