Re: actions related to collections

Hi Satya,

Thanks for your input.

Do I understand correctly that those two collections do not change: a 
cell line has a given number of cells, and the cohort involves a set of 
patients.

So, yes, I understand that removal/insertion are not necessary for such 
static collections.

Regards,
Luc
