I don't know to what extent it has been decided to keep the web report simple and require the user to export the data for more powerful viewing.

If the web report is open to changes, the following might be considered:

* Shading of alternate rows.

* Visible highlighting when the user copies text; it's disconcerting not to be able to do this, and researchers are likely to want to copy values such as accession IDs to paste into another application.

* "Freezing" the header row and, optionally, the first column so the user can more easily interpret the data when scrolling through a large number of rows or columns.
