NIF Version 2.1 has been released. 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)
