#703 allele selection, multiple options for the same allele
I notice recently that there are often multiple options available for the same allele.
For example, see the attached screenshot
vas3-1(ntG507A)
vas3-1(unknown)
vas3-1(ntG507A)
So often the same allele is duplicated.
This isn't such a big problem, but it is confusing. Especially in the cases where th unnknown allele appears first in the list
vas3-1(unknown)
Int these cases, even if you selected vas3-1(ntG507A)
"unknown" always appears as your allele description.
We can ignore this (as I am assuming that behind the scenes, the correct description is inserted), but users wouldn't know this and would therefore find it very confusing.
If there is a "real" description, "unknown" should not be available to select

it happens a lot though
In this case, I was able to select
vas3-1(ntG507A)
because it was first in the list
The description always defaults to display the fist description in the list in the session, no matter what you select
The vas3-1 duplicate has gone from Chado. If you spot another duplicate could you add it to this ticket?
Kim needs an active example of this as he does not have a test case any more. He thinks he knows what the problem is.
If you see a session with multiple options for the same allele description, please post in this ticket and up the priority to 8 so that Kim will see it before the chado database updates
I see this every time I use any existing allele (i.e. one that was already in Canto's database) more than once in a session.
The example I'm working on right now is PMID:10459013 / 1a9429aa838169ed but I'll have finished it by the time Kim's awake again. But I don't think it matters much, because it's not rare at all and should be easy to reproduce:
In any session, add a phenotype for any gene that has alleles already stored in the Canto db (lots of cdc genes fit, e.g. cdc2, cdc11). Choose one of the existing alleles and finish the annotation. Then add another phenotype and go for the same allele -- you'll see its name and description in the pulldown twice. Any "existing" allele. Every damn time.
come to think of it, almost any gene should do, since the big deletion papers have something for just about every gene
IS this still current?
I think there was another ticket about this at some point because I remember fixing the duplicates.
Midori are you still seeing this?
