On Monday July 19, 2021, Fabric Genomics will release a minor update to Fabric Enterprise. The webapp will be updated from v6.10 to 6.11, customer-facing API will remain at v1.2.6, and the annotations pipeline will be updated from 6.6.7 to 6.6.8, and the GEM pipeline will be updated from 0.0.9.2 to 0.11.9.0
This release brings minor updates to the GEM algorithm and report, and addresses several bugs, including those affecting the structural variant viewer.
