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:

Abbrev: BioGRID_ORCS_Cell_line
Name  : BioGRID Open Repository of CRISPR Screens cell lines
Server: https://orcs.thebiogrid.org/
Db_URL: https://orcs.thebiogrid.org/Search?searchType=10&search=%s&organism=all
Term. : No
Cat   : CRISP screens repositories
//

Example:
DR   BioGRID_ORCS_Cell_line; 95

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.

Corresponding entry in the file cellosaurus_xrefs.txt:

Name  : Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank
Server: https://dshb.biology.uiowa.edu/
Db_URL: https://dshb.biology.uiowa.edu/%s
Term. : No
Cat   : Cell line collections (Providers)

Example:
DR   DSHB; 12-120-94-6

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".
