=== 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 IMSS is blocking some WB IP addresses likely from nefarious actors on AWS, thereby breaking WB links to Caltech-hosted CGIs
 
* Although WB uses dedicated AWS IPs, those some how still got on a black list.
 
* The ultimate solution is to move all services answering WB queries to AWS, so there is no extr-AWS network traffic.
 
* 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.
 
 
 
== August 26, 2021 ==
 
 
 
=== New Wormicloud features ===
 
* Clustering similar words in word clouds
 
* Counter with the number of objects already curated by WB for papers returned by searches
 
 
 
=== Changes to Transgene OA autocomplete ===
