==Brief Overview of Changes in geWorkbench 2.2.1==
 
 
 
geWorkbench 2.2.1 provides a number of improvements, especially as related
 
to network import, display and export, sequence retrieval, and pattern
 
discovery. If a network is generated or loaded that may be to large to
 
view in Cytocape, it can now instead by viewed as a text file. The
 
new "Fold Change" analysis component is included, which was to be released
 
in version 2.2.0 but was omitted. A new feature to overlay a t-test result
 
onto a Cytoscape network, which was inadvertantly disabled in release
 
2.2.0, now works again.  The Gene Ontology analysis component now supports
 
uses of  alternate ontology files (e.g. from the GO website).  Sequence
 
retrieval for DNA sequences is now done using the UCSC refGene table, and
 
is available for all organisms with genomes supported by UCSC.
