[DAS2] DAS/2 writeback

But there's no entry in the segment query for chrI, which is the
chromosome you used in the the example XML you posted.  So I can't find
those annotations via IGB.

This datasource contains both yeast and human segments.  I set it up
this way so features can be written for either human or yeast, then
viewed at one  of:

http://das.biopackages.net/das/genome/yeast/S228C-writeback/feature
http://das.biopackages.net/das/genome/human/17-writeback/feature

I thought this would be more useful so you can test viewing writeback
features alongside both "real" human and yeast features.

So you can just ignore the irrelevant segments, or if you'd prefer I can
delete one set of segments or the other.

Allen, thanks for getting the start of a writeback server up and
running!

I'm hoping to try writing back annotations later today.  However, I'm
having problems looking at the annotations in the writeback server via 
IGB.  It looks to me like the main issue is that
http://das.biopackages.net/das/genome/yeast/S228C-writeback/segment
returns human chromosome ids in the uri attribute of the SEGMENT 
element, instead of yeast ids.  When IGB uses this to compose a query
like

http://das.biopackages.net/das/genome/yeast/S228C-writeback/feature?over

laps=chr1/10:15000;type=SO:centromere

it gets back an empty feature list.  But if I manually edit this to
replace "chr1" with "chrI",

http://das.biopackages.net/das/genome/yeast/S228C-writeback/feature?over
laps=chrI/10:15000;type=SO:centromere

I get back a list of feature that satisfies the query filters.

Any ideas?

        Thanks, 
        Gregg
