Description
Sometimes we have a genome sequence available but no annotation files.
In such a case, it makes sense to provide the sequence (2bit) file, the genome.txt file, but not the annots.xml file, since the annots.xml file would contain no files.
However, IGB gives an error if there is no annots.xml file to load.
Change this so that if a Quickload genome directory lacks an annots.xml file, IGB can still show the genome sequence and load files from the users desktop.
To do this task, you will need to dig into the DataProviders system. You will need to understand what happens when a Quickload site's genome directory is accessed.
To get familiar with it,
- review the Quickload documentation on wiki.transvar.org
- search and review previous Quickload-related issues in Jira
