Description
Situation: When a user selects a genome in IGB the default gene annotation (usually RefGene) for that genome is loaded automatically (Load Mode = Genome). With the addition of new genomes from UCSC REST endpoint that are not part of IGB Quickload, it would be nice for users if we would load a gene annotation automatically.
Task: Investigate if we can check to see if a genome version is not being provided by IGB Quickload. If it is not, but the UCSC REST genome annotation is available (RefGene, for example), load the UCSC REST annotation.
I have noticed that genomes with many chromosomes/fragments (hundreds to thousands) tend to load very slowly when Load Mode = Genome. We may just want to load the gene annotation (RefGene) for whichever chromosome is displayed to the user. That way the IGB window does not appear blank, but the user doesn't have to wait several minutes for the entire genomes gene annotation to load.
