This document attempts to describe new features and changes in each released version of iRefIndex.

iRefIndex 9.0

November 2011

  • RIGIDs in previous releases of iRefIndex were incorrectly computed. Although the properties of such RIGIDs were not compromised - distinct RIGIDs should still have referred to distinct interactions - each RIGID made use of substantially less information from its components. RIGIDs in this release should now be computed correctly. (Internal link)
  • Many proteins previously assigned the 4932 taxonomy identifier have been recategorised as having taxonomy identifier 559292. Thus, for convenience, an additional 559292 file is produced alongside the existing (but substantially smaller) 4932 file to hold interactions involving proteins associated with both taxons.

iRefIndex 6.0
