arrayMap feature update(s)

Over the last weeks, we have introduced a number of new search/ordering features to arrayMap. Some of those mimic functions previously implemented in Progenetix. Overall, the highlights are:

ICD entity aggregation

all ICD-O entities with their according samples

ICD locus aggregation

all tumor loci with their according samples

Clinical group aggregation

clinical super-entities (e.g. "breast ca.": all carcinoma types with locus breast) with their samples

Publication aggregation

all publication with samples in arrayMap

In contrast to Progenetix, we do not offer precomputed SCNA histograms. However, users can generate them on the fly, but should consider the specific challenges in doing so (e.g. noise background in frequency calculations).
