URL should be igbquickload.org instead of quickload.org. Sorry for the incorrect information.

• For comparing metadata, Do I need to run igb master branch code and igb 9.1.6 and then compare both metadata in the Datasouces tab?
  Correct me if I am wrong?

No, you should run the released version of IGB - 9.1.4.

To determine which quickload sites are being used to deliver data to a given release of IGB, look up the file "igbDefaultPrefs.json" on that branch. Dr. Freese has updated the "main" quickload site, which is version-controlled here: https://svn.bioviz.org/viewvc/genomes/quickload/H_sapiens_Dec_2013/

There are two checked-out copies of same:

• http://igbquickload.org/quickload/H_sapiens_Dec_2013/ (not yet updated with Dr. Freese's changes)
• http://lorainelab-quickload.scidas.org/quickload/H_sapiens_Dec_2013/ (updated with Dr. Freese's changes)

Check the json preferences file to find out which one is being used as the primary site and which one is being used as a mirror, backup site. The one that is being used as a backup site has been updated - I logged onto the server and ran the command

svn up

to deploy all the latest changes made by Dr. Freese.

The primary site has not yet been updated.

What you would need to do is add the updated, backup site as a new data source using IGB 9.1.4's Data Management Table. (See https://wiki.transvar.org/display/igbman/Data+Access - you click "configure" to add the new quickload site for testing)

When you do that, then you will be able to compare the older and newer data sets by opening then one-by-one.

• When I am comparing metadata, default Data Provide Id was not loaded for
• The number of annotations are the same in both old versus new data sets.
• Reference gene models look good to me.
