Changelog

Recent website updates, with the newest release first.

0.8.1

Result navigation and structure display improvements

2026-09-12

Version 0.8.1 adds a sticky contents panel to results and reports, restricts 2D domain maps to causative candidates, and reorders key sections for faster review.

  • Results and HTML reports now have a sticky left-side contents panel with scroll-spy and smooth navigation; panel is draggable.
  • 2D InterPro domain maps are now restricted to the same supporting causative candidates shown in 3D structure views.
  • Downloads, ranked variants, and research report now appear before protein structure panels.
0.8.0

Richer visual context for reports

2026-09-10

Version 0.8.0 makes reports easier to scan with PGx/GWAS networks, 3D protein views, and InterPro domain maps for coding candidate variants.

  • PGx and GWAS findings now appear as compact network views in live results and reports.
  • Coding candidate variants can show predicted 3D protein structure context and 2D InterPro domain maps.
  • The case-decision panel now shows clearer candidate identifiers, including transcript, cDNA notation, and genomic location.
0.7.0

Pharmacogenomics context

2026-09-07

Version 0.7.0 adds pharmacogenomics context so medication-response findings are visible without mixing them into Rare Disease - Singleton ranking.

  • Matched PGx findings are shown in their own Pharmacogenomics Context section.
  • Drug, gene, phenotype category, evidence level, and supporting links are kept together for review.
  • PGx context stays separate from ACMG/AMP classification and diagnostic ranking.
0.6.1

GWAS association context and result reliability

2026-09-01

Version 0.6.1 adds GWAS association context and improves how saved analyses, phenotype wording, and AI fallback messages behave.

  • GWAS Catalog matches are shown as population-association context after the diagnostic review.
  • GWAS wording is more cautious, focusing on phenotype signal without implying causality.
  • History and AI fallback messages are more reliable and easier to understand.
0.6.0

AI HPO extraction and Word reports

2026-08-26

Version 0.6.0 adds AI-assisted HPO extraction, expands Word-report drafting across workflows, and improves analysis progress feedback.

  • Clinical descriptions can be reviewed for supported HPO terms before running an analysis.
  • Carrier screening and trio workflows now have AI-assisted Word-report narratives with fallback wording when AI is unavailable.
  • Long-running analyses show clearer AI review progress while candidates are processed.
0.5.0

GTEx expression context

2026-08-24

Version 0.5.0 adds per-gene GTEx expression context directly inside result tables.

  • Gene rows can expand to show tissue-level expression summaries.
  • Expression is presented as biological plausibility context, not pathogenicity evidence.
  • The expression panel includes tissue ranking, TPM values, and a reviewer note field.
0.4.5

More flexible HPO matching

2026-08-23

Version 0.4.5 makes phenotype extraction more tolerant of clinically equivalent wording while keeping the extraction evidence-bounded and ontology-validated.

  • Common clinical paraphrases and wording variants are recognized more reliably.
  • AI extraction remains constrained to supported patient text and valid HPO identifiers.
  • Negation and excluded-finding handling remain conservative.
0.4

Case decision guidance

2026-08-23

Version 0.4 adds a cautious case-level decision to rare-disease reports.

  • Rare-disease reports now summarize whether the case is positive, inconclusive, or has no positive candidate identified.
  • The decision is shown with a simple evidence spectrum and reviewer guidance.
  • DP/GQ thresholds and BED filtering are available across analysis workflows.
0.3

Inheritance handling fixes

2026-08-22

Version 0.3 improves inheritance-mode handling and phenotype-aware mode selection.

  • Inheritance terms are mapped more accurately from the HPO database.
  • Additional inheritance modes, including de novo and mosaic patterns, are recognized.
  • When a gene has multiple inheritance modes, phenotype fit helps choose the most relevant one.
0.2

Gene links and update notices

2026-08-21

Version 0.2 adds direct OMIM links and a simple update notice for returning users.

  • Gene cells in ranked, carrier, trio, and report tables now link to OMIM.
  • The new changelog page at /changelog lists recent website updates.
  • Returning users see a small announcement banner after updates until they dismiss it once.
0.1

Reporting and review polish

2026-08-14

Recent workflow refinements focused on report readability, review guidance, and safer interpretation support.

  • Improved report wording and review summaries.
  • Expanded help text for analysis and export flows.
  • Tighter layout behavior across result tables and cards.
