These results are almost all wrong, but in a way that is close to correct. I suspect the issue is that 0 values are being ommitted, since this seems to always occur when correlation with traits/datasets that have many sample values of 0. + +### Updates + +The second example (with BXDPublish 24638) seems to have a cause that has likely always existed with any trait that has a very small range of values. Because the trait page only shows values out to 3 decimal places, and those values are passed directly from the form, there ends up being a mismatch between it and the values in the DB (which go out to far more decimal places). + +There are a couple ways to potentially deal with this, but I think the best might be to just show more decimal places when the range of values is less than a certain amount. This would preserve the ability for users to edit values, which is the reason they're passed from the form instead of just pulled directly from the DB. + +The first example seems to have been fixed by this commit - https://github.com/genenetwork/genenetwork2/commit/a2796900a34056cfba2dfa4c995764ea60ff8e45 (which addresses an issue where compute_top_n_sample was being pointlessly run again for Publish trait sample correlations and returning a lot of wrong results) |
