Release notes - April 5, 2021
Annotation Explorer usability improvements
Annotation Explorer enables you to interactively explore, query, and study characteristics of an inventory of annotations for the variants called in TOPMed studies. It is implemented as an interactive analysis, and contains all of the required code to launch an interactive Shiny application.
Your experience with Annotation Explorer just got better thanks to the release of the SB BigQuery - R 4.0 Data Cruncher environment setup, which brought the following improvements:
- Your session initialization time has now been reduced to 3 minutes.
- Saving time of your analysis has now been reduced to less than a minute.
To use the Annotation Explorer and experience these improvements, copy the Annotation Explorer available in the Annotation Explorer public project to a target project and launch the application.
