+When we cache sample data (mainly for features like correlations), it doesn't take into account changes in the sample list (which is derived from the .geno file).
+
+While this isn't frequently a problem, it was recently encountered with the BXD-Longevity group (which has had a number of recent changes to its .geno file, including changing the order of cases/samples, which basically rendered the cached sample data completely wrong)
+
+The fix to this is probably just to include the last updated time-stamp for the .geno file when caching. I'll probably do this in the next few days (maybe later today).
+
+The relevant caching code is here - https://github.com/genenetwork/genenetwork2/blob/2c22e593c59a9b4f9129a2e669443709d9c5154a/wqflask/base/data_set.py#L1288-L1317
