Description
Situation: A user inquired as to whether there was a way for IGB to indicate which exon had been selected. For example, many studies report mutations by which exon they affect (i.e. the mutation is found on the eleventh exon). Currently IGB does not provide this information. Counting exons visually can be quite challenging, especially in humans where exons are very small relative to introns, and can be separated by hundreds of thousands of base pairs.
Task: Investigate the IGB codebase to determine if there would be a relatively simple way to add the exon number to the tooltip or selection info. For example, if a user selects the second exon of a gene model, the tooltip or selection info tab would have a property titled "exon" and the value would be an integer representing the exon's number.
