1 What’s new…
For the XetaBase 1.2.0 release we have focused on improving the infrastructure of the system to enable more control of releases and making IVA more functionally complete to aid the research and clinical use of XetaBase.
These improvements and new functionality help us move XetaBase towards being a more holistic and stable tool to be used in both clinical and research fields, to interrogate aggregated and indexed genomic data at unprecedented scale.
The key functionality we have added includes:
- Adding Exomiser as an interpretation tool
- Adding additional reference data to CellBase
- Improving the usability of both the Genome Browser and the reporting section of the clinical analysis
- Increasing the number of filters available when using IVA
- Adding the ability to lock an interpretation via IVA
1.1 OpenCGA version 2.4.0
The key functionality we have added includes:
- Adding Exomiser as an automatic interpreter
- Making it mandatory to provide a status that maps to the Closed category, so cases can be closed when custom statuses are provided
- Infrastructure improvements and security upgrades
- Index improvements
1.2 CellBase version 5.2.0
The key functionality we have added includes:
- Adding additional reference data sources:
- Pubmed
- EBI GWAS Catalog
- Improvements to the way Variants are Annotated
1.3 IVA version 2.4.0
The key functionality we have added includes:
- Improvements to the Case portal
- Displaying the list of cases in the Clinical Analysis browser
- Displaying the list of disease panels registered in the current project
- Ability to lock an interpretation in the IVA interpretation manager
- Adding additional filters for Clinical Analysis browser and case portal
- Due date filter
- Filter for source in disease panel browser
- Updates to the Genome Browser
- Improving alignment
- Ability to mark features of interest in the karyotype panel and the current chromosome
- Ability to select and view the defined features of interest
- Report improvements
- Adding a standardised report format for all users
- Adding link to Signal webpage for each mutational signature ID
- Adding a Confirm action step, with the ability to confirm or cancel the last action

- Sample genotypes and depth are displayed in lollipop tooltip in Genome Browser
- Enable IVA 2.3 to support CellBase v4
- Add JSON tab to detailed tabs in interpretation_review/primary_finding
- Display stderr log in the job browser warning for pending jobs
- Replace spaces with underscores for column names for TSV exports of SVB variants
- Correctly display the Column sex in individual grid when passing an empty object
- Display correct warning when trying to delete a locked case
- Clear due-date after submitting a case
- Synchronise Corpasome template version OpenCGA version
- Enable OpenCGA Storage Hadoop EMR6.1 to compile with mvn 3.8.5
- Update certificates for MongoDB replica set works

3 What’s next
For the next XetaBase cycle release we will be focusing on ensuring code quality and updating the quality controls in place, to ensure the reliability and stability of the service now and for future changes. We will also be focussed on fixing some key known issues that have been raised by customers.
