Description
Situation: In order to implement the metadata features - where a user can assign a genome and version to a file, we need a way to get a list of the available genomes and versions from IGB. The best way would be if the user had IGB running, BioViz would contact an IGB service that would return the list of genomes and versions, which the user could then select from. If the user does not have IGB running, then BioViz could pull the list of genomes and versions from IGBQuickload. If IGBQuickload is not available, then it would populate with a list of genomes and versions stored on BioViz, though it may not be up to date.
Task: Investigate how to make an IGB service that would provide genome and version. Put any notes in the comment section.

If IGB is running:
get list of species and versions from IGB as it may also contain species from custom quickload.
If IGB is not running:
fetch contents.txt from default quickload site and display species common names against the versions.
(Note: in the metadata, only the species name with version will be stored.)
We would avoid storing the list of genome and versions in the BioViz as it will create maintenance problems in future.
