2) Changes in the DR lines
2a) Cross-references were added to the cell line elements in the BioGRID Open Repository of CRISPR Screens (BioGRID_ORCS).
Corresponding entry in the file cellosaurus_xrefs.txt:

2b) Cross-references were added to the Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank (DSHB). Prevously web links were provided to this resources, but we upgraded them to cross-references.

3) Changes in the XML file
Six new elements have been created:
knockout-cell
microsatellite-instability
monoclonal-antibody-isotype
monoclonal-antibody-target
resistance
transformant
They allow a structured representation of the information which was formerly represented as the text comments: "Knockout cell", "Microsatellite instability", "Monoclonal antibody isotype", "Monoclonal antibody target", "Selected for resistance to" and "Transformant".
