Version 22 Status Report
- Data Load. The new NMPDR data is now fully loaded, and we show features in subsystems for all of the new organism groups. The difference report is here. The report shows what has changed in each of the core organism groups, the new and deleted subsystems, the new and deleted organisms, and the statistics used on our semi-annual reports. In addition, it flags unusual situations. In this case, there were 16 organisms without BBHs. Bob is currently fixing them.
- Performance. It takes about 3 seconds to display a protein page. The SEED viewer genome browser takes about 8 seconds. This is comparable to the performance of GBrowse on both the Mirror system (which is the same server as the new version) and the Live system. There has been some concern about the SEED viewer performance, but during the weekend I was running the difference report, which would have slowed things down considerably.
- Functionality. We were having problems with Image::Magick, but this is now fixed. The plan is for Tobi and I to stress-test the viewer this afternoon and fix any problems we find.
- Schedule. The current plan is to stage the new NMPDR on Wednesday the 28th after the programmers' meeting, then roll it over on November 30. If any problems occur, we will roll over on a later date and change the front page to reflect the new information.
