    • Added quality_metrics calculated property to Analysis
    • Added biosamples calculated property to Functional Characterization Series and Functional Characterization Experiments
    • Added “genomic perturbation followed by RT-qPCR” enum to Functional Characterization Experiment assay_term_name
    • Added “RT-qPCR” enum to Biosample Characterization characterization_method
    • Adjusted File dependency to permit submission of fastqs that have “filtered reads” output_type without specification of “replicate”
    • Added publication_page property to Publication
  • UI changes
    • Allowed display of Pages and Cart files on Publication pages

    • Modified Series pages to display original_files, provided those files are linked to an Analysis object
    • Fixed bug on Award page where some labels were misaligned
    • Added Sex facet on Donor, Functional Characterization, and Series search pages
    • Allowed addition of Series to Publication pages, and updated Publication pages to display datasets belonging to the Series
    • Added Trait property to Annotation summary page
    • Updated Functional Characterization Series to display files from elements_mapping and elements_cloning datasets of the related_datasets
    • Updated Immune Cells collection page to use new graph icons, allow selection of child nodes by selecting a parent node, and retain filter selections when clicking on List or Report views
    • Removed collections from the front page search box
    • Updated toolbar links in the Functional Characterization subsection of the Data menu
    • Restricted visualization from Experiment Search and Matrix pages to queries with up to 200 results
    • Fixed issue with file gallery filters on fastq files in association graphs
    • Changed Publication year facet on Publication search page to sort in descending order
