      Description

      Situation: The UCSC REST endpoint provides many more track types than DAS. Some of them can be easily mapped to IGB's bed parser or a graph parser, but others we are unsure of.

      Task: List out the different track types being provided by UCSC REST and determine which tracks can be easily parsed by IGB.

            Google sheet link with track types and whether (I think) we can parse them in IGB: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1epLMB2zPOjReiJ9L7-UcX8gCn52yIoquc4ufUrH0uS0/edit?usp=sharing

            Looking into the file types mentioned in the above spreadsheet, investing a way on how to parse it, searching if there's any existing logic in code that might support it, and making notes on the findings.

            After discussion with Sravani we have decided the following.

            Create new tickets implementing:

            • narrowPeak > parse as narrowPeak
            • bigGenePred > parse as either bed or genePred
            • barChart > parse as bed or graph

            The following formats will require additional investigation, but we will not implement them as part of this epic:

            • chain
            • net
            • rmsk
            • wigMaf

            Created tickets for the three file types (narrowPeak, bigGenePred, and barChart). Closing this ticket now and will start working on these tickets.
