eQTL catalog IDs are not URL-safe #3619

Open d0choa opened 1 week ago

d0choa commented 1 week ago

As reported by @carcruz, some study identifiers derived from the eQTL catalogue are not URL-safe.

For example:

https://ot-platform-partner.netlify.app/study/Sun_2018_aptamer_plasma_TNFRSF1A.2654.19.1..1

Currently, this is causing some processes to crash in localhost, but it's not a problem when deployed. Therefore, it's not a critical priority, but turning these IDs into URL-safe would be beneficial to avoid future surprises.

@carcruz can you confirm the . are the offending characters?
