Dealing with variants #6
Description
At wormbase, there are pages for variants that have sequences with both wild type and the variant and for protein coding genes, the wild type and variant proteins. For example, see https://wormbase.org/species/c_elegans/variation/WBVar00644582#6b--10 which looks like this for some of it:
(picture of the genomic sequence, both wide type and variant)
(picture of translated protein sequence, with wild type and variant residue highlighted)
It should be possible to do something like this in seq panel, since it fetches the sequence for the feature (the variant in this case), as well as up and down stream sequence. Since the feature fetching is an "overlaps" query, it will also fetch the information for any genes that overlap the variant. This will be considerably more bookkeeping required in this component (as opposed to shipping it off to the JBrowse code to do the work for us).
