[Lioscro]

• Change "Misc. characteristics" to just "Misc" so that it is clear what the form is asking for is related to the previous input fields. Implemented in commit 0a3678aa1960f15e22ecf87c08edabdcf407b211
• Add a description blurb above the samples metadata form, so that it is clear what the user has to do for each sample. (i.e. they have to select each sample and fill out the form). Implemented in commit 0a3678aa1960f15e22ecf87c08edabdcf407b211
• Change "Control value" to "control" in project controls form. Implemented in commit 0a3678aa1960f15e22ecf87c08edabdcf407b211
• Email: make sure people know the email is from Alaska -- change sender email to something more noticeable (alaska@alaska.caltech.edu?) Implemented in commit 15d3f79dc62e1b9c93330daa10b7558b6415acca
• When the user clicks "open sleuth server," for the server window to show up properly the browser must have popups enabled. Show a popup stating the user must have popup enabled for the window to display properly. Implemented in commit 88f54c0b74a83749746845769874a56ce2363fe7
• The compression used by Alaska to compress project folders need to be changed to be compatible with MacOS. (An issue with the compression methods of bsdtar and gnutar, as indicated at https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/197839/why-is-extracting-this-tgz-throwing-an-error-on-my-mac-but-not-on-linux. Fixed in commit 15d3f79dc62e1b9c93330daa10b7558b6415acca

Turns out the compression issue is not actually a bsdtar and gnutar issue. It was because all the contents of the analysis folders (1_qc, 2_alignment, 3_diff_exp) were being added to the root of the archive, leading to weird behavior. Each of the folders themselves should be added to the root of the archive.
