🚀 Level Up Your Schisto Exploration!
We’ve just rolled out an exciting update to SchistoXYZ Explore! While our core mission remains providing the fastest way to visualize schistosome data, we’ve added a layer of fun and a smarter way to handle your custom settings.
🌐 Integrated Atlas Viewing
No more jumping between tabs. View full scRNA-seq and spatial atlases directly within the dashboard.
🧬 Multi-Gene Comparison
Search and select multiple genes simultaneously to compare expression patterns across different datasets in one view.
📋 Rich Gene Metadata
Instantly access detailed gene information, product descriptions, and KEGG Orthologs without leaving the page.
🖱️ Custom Workspace
Tailor your research by reordering dataset “cards” with simple drag-and-drop logic—perfect for both Desktop and tablet users.
💬 Community Insights
Added a password-protected commenting feature, allowing researchers to share observations directly on specific genes.
🌟 New Feature: Fun Explore Levels
Ever wonder how much data you’ve actually crunched? Now you can track it! We’ve introduced a Gamified Experience System to reward your curiosity.
-
Earn EXP: Every time you explore a gene, share a link, or dive deep into a dataset, you earn Experience Points (EXP).
-
Climb the Ranks: Progress through 5 unique ranks, from Snail Chaser 🐌 to the prestigious Schisto Master 🪱.
-
Purely for Fun: There are no real-world awards—just the satisfaction of seeing your expertise grow as you navigate the atlas.
🔗 Feature: Instant Collaboration (Share Link)
Collaborating with colleagues has never been easier. With the Share Link button:
-
One-Click Copy: Generate a unique URL that encodes your current gene selection and dataset configuration.
-
Earn EXP: Sharing your findings with the community now earns you +2 EXP.
-
Perfect Sync: When your colleagues open the link, they see exactly what you see—no more manual ID typing.
🛠️ Smarter Dataset Syncing
We know you spend time organizing your favorite datasets. Our new Smart Merge logic ensures that:
Your custom dataset sorting and selections are remembered even after you close the tab.
When we add new datasets to the platform, they will automatically appear in your list without resetting your existing progress or rank.
🔒 Privacy First
As always, your data belongs to you.
-
Local Storage Only: Your EXP, Level, and dataset selections are saved only in your browser’s local cache.
-
No Databases: We don’t upload your search history or personal progress to any external servers.
-
Control: If you clear your browser data, your progress resets—simple and secure.
