NIF Version 2.1 has been released. This minor release includes the following improvements:

\t
• Resolved issues of multiple scroll bars by using a new layout scheme for the results page

\t
• Fixed the bug relating to mammals and primates in the selection of species from the gene preference section

\t
• Removed thumbnail images from GENSAT to improve consistency

\t
• Improved the handling of dots and slashes in indexes

\t
• Implemented a grid view in the databases tab now to automatically resize and fill in the empty space with data

\t
• Enabled the database tab to now show data from the first database in the list of results instead of a blank screen

\t
• Changed the layout of two "clear" buttons, no longer placed next to each other to avoid confusion

\t
• Fixed the paging issue with literature results

You informed us of the bugs. We fixed them.

\t
• "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"

\t
• "On the NIF Literature's tab, the  'More information' link along the top is broken"

\t
• "Genes get duplicate synonyms"

\t
• "Genes should not allow expansion (Genes should not have a folder or allow expansion in the term tree)"

\t
• "Boolean conditions are getting mixed up in the Gene Query"

\t
• "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"

\t
• "Database results 'sort' function not working (aside from the capitalization, numerical value issues)
