Description
Users tried to use a fasta.gz file as the sequence for a custom genome.
This didn't work. IGB will work with fasta, but not fasta.gz.
This was brought to our attention through this biostars post:

Testing...
using A_thaliana_Jun_2009.fa
$ gzip A_thaliana_Jun_2009.fa
> A_thaliana_Jun_2009.fa.gz
IGB was able to read the fa.gz file just like the fa. If I drag/drop it into IGB, it lads a single long sequence feature representing each chromosome. If I select it as a custom genome it loads the genome sequence.
Note that gzip is not the same bgzip.
