CeNGEN graph on gene pages
- We would like to show an expression level graph on each gene page. CeNGEN prefers something similar to what we have for FPKM expression.
- Sibyl drafted a prototype that is 2D so that it solves the issue of fitting into one page width while making highly expressing cells prominent.

Caltech hosted CGIs
- Caltech is blocking some WB IP addresses likely from nefarious actors on AWS, thereby breaking WB links to Caltech-hosted CGIs
- Could non-SObA CGIs move to different servers (AWS?)?
- SObA is resource intensive when new releases are being built but otherwise memory requirements can be tuned (affecting caching) for serving queries. We can use a local machine for building a release and then transfer the built database to a live machine in the cloud. This approach also alleviates some sysadmin load for Caltech.
