AI Summary: The system is currently picking the wrong VCF file for IGV visualization when both source-specific and a family VCF file are present. The developer needs to confirm if the family VCF file should always take precedence over source VCF files, as the current logic seems to be selecting based on alphabetical order.

AI Summary: The current IGV session file generation process only links to one version of a dataset, causing issues when a germline case contains data for multiple genome builds (GRCh38 and GRCh37). The user requests a configuration option to select which build's data should be included in the session file, or an alternative like generating separate files per build.

AI Summary: This GitHub issue seeks feedback from scientists on which additional study metadata fields (e.g., submission/release dates, study design, publications, factors, contacts) would be valuable to display in the SODAR UI. It also asks for input on how complex data should be formatted and which fields should be prioritized for future editing capabilities. The implementation is planned for after a new Vue app is developed.

AI Summary: Implement a rate-limiting mechanism for the SODAR REST API to mitigate flooding from repeated requests by a single user. The solution should avoid blocking legitimate high-frequency requests and may involve DRF features, SODAR Core modifications, or a reverse proxy solution. Context awareness (e.g., blocking repeated requests to the same endpoint) is desirable.
