 ## Change log
 
+### _**v1.2.0**_
+**Release date: August 6th, 2018**
+ - Added the Prot Vista widget from EBI for interactive protein data (domains, PTMs, variation, etc).
+ - Added a table for all expression experiments available for a given species so that the expression widget can display single experiments.
+ - Fixed a bug where the hits search box was sometimes improperly hidden.
+ - Fixed a bug where the hits search box was being improperly hidden if no results were returned.

 ### _**v1.1.1**_
 **Release date: July 12th, 2018**
  - Fixed 'Gene Basics' header changing to 'Overview' after un-collapsing the section.

-Genotify is a light-weight, cross-platform desktop application for quick gene annotations. If you're a researcher, you likely find yourself Googling gene names relatively frequently, especially when doing a heavy lit review or poring through spreadsheets of differentially expressed genes. **Genotify** provides up-to-date gene info without opening a browser. Simply copy a gene name, ID, or symbol to your clipboard and use `ctrl+q` (or `cmd+q`) to query for that gene. Limit by species if you so desire. Click any of the resulting text boxes to copy them to your clipboard.
+Genotify is a light-weight, cross-platform desktop application for quick gene annotations. If you're a molecular biology researcher or bioinformaticist, you likely find yourself Googling gene names relatively frequently, especially when doing a heavy lit review or poring through tables of differentially expressed genes. **Genotify** provides up-to-date gene info and access to multiple interactive widgets without opening a browser. Simply copy a gene name, ID, or symbol to your clipboard and use `ctrl+q` (or `cmd+q`) to query for that gene. Limit by species if you so desire. Click any of the resulting text boxes to copy them to your clipboard.
 
 This program aims to give you access to all of the resources you could ever want for a gene, from links to all of the major databases to functional summaries. Hopefully it does it well.

 ## Installation
-
 Just download the [release](https://github.com/j-andrews7/GenotifyDesktop/releases) for your OS, unpack, and run. To build from source with `node.js`, you can clone the repo and run `npm install` followed by `npm start`.
 
 ## Usage
-
-Genotify is dead simple to use. Type a query into the search box and click the search button, hit enter, or use the hotkey `ctrl+q` (or `cmd+q`) to query from clipboard (even if Genotify isn't focused!). Search for and select species with the species filter, or filter hits in the hits table dynamically. Clicking on a different hit in the hits table will show the information for that hit. Expand the various sections to read what said gene does, explore expression data, see disease associations, or view links out to various data sources.

 ## Issues/Comments
-Hit up the issues pages here and drop a line. I'm usually pretty quick to respond. I'm also open to suggestions for new features.
