The Qiita development team is pleased to announce the second alpha release of Qiita.

In this release we closed more than 80 issues, some of these are:

  • Portals: Within the same hardware you can host as many portals as you want simply by changing the configuration file that is being used. This will allow admins to generate specific presentations of data without having to duplicate the information. For example, http://qiita.microbio.me has all available studies and http://sloan_microbe.microbio.me is a front end only for the Sloan related studies. User accounts will work in any portal within the same system i.e. if you already have an account in the main Qiita deploy you don’t need to create a new account to access the Sloan portal.
  • Download analysis biom and mapping file: Now you can download the biom and mapping file of any analysis generated within your account.
  • Notification system: Qiita has a new system allowing users to receive messages about the system, possible updates, and improvements.
  • Now you can upload and process SFF.gz files. This should represent an improvement on the size of files you need to upload.
  • Ability to process sequence data that has already been demultiplexed, note that your sequences need not to include any technical reads (barcodes or primers).
  • New documentation hosted as part of every system, see an example here, these documents include information about the file formats, pipelines and use cases that Qiita tries to account for. Make sure to add an issue if there’s information that you think may be missing here.

Miscellaneous

  • Transactions: To avoid database collisions all modifications to the DB are now run within transactions, which allow complete rollbacks on any failure, including file creation.

As always we encourage you to participate in the development of Qiita by:

  • Reporting a bug or feature request in our issue tracker.
  • Submitting a new feature (if you are curious please review our development guidelines).
  • Adding your study to the system, which should not only facilitate its analysis but will allow you to combine it with other public studies or even share it with other users.
