Pranav's code changes: https://bitbucket.org/pranavbhatia1999/integrated-genome-browser/branch/IGBF-4132

The changes look good. Should we proceed to a pull request Nowlan Freese ?

Ann Loraine - This is preliminary work that Pranav had from the spring. I asked him to push his changes so that we wouldn't lose them. I think saideepthi jagarapu was considering picking up this ticket and completing the work.

I asked saideepthi jagarapu to pick up updating the hub-facade playbooks. If she gets stuck on that or when she finishes, we could ask her to pick this up. It depends on how high a priority it would be and whether we want to get this included in the new release.

Recommendations based on talking with Deepthi and comparing to https://bioviz.org/genome-dashboard:

• Users should be able to search for scientific species name as well as any tooltip names. For example, a user searching for "human" would pull up the "Homo sapiens" species.
• The "Species" dropdown should have the word Species in it as usual. When clicked, the text should change to "Search" and the text should be in the background greyed out and not selectable. When the user starts typing their text immediately replaces the "Search" text.
• Mockup: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1tsej7ZgRwZb-NE5WszDHxbWHpjRMq7RLTfPFHj5lr7A/edit?usp=sharing

Testing branch: https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab-deepthi/integrated-genome-browser/branch/IGBF-4132

• If I search for something in the Species dropdown, but then click on an image in the carousel it takes me to the selected genome version, but the options in the species dropdown are for what I had previously searched for.
• If I click in the textbox after I have selected a genome version, I should be able to click outside of the text box and the textbox should no longer be selected.
• When I click on the Species text box I am seeing the word Species and I have to delete the word before I can type something. I would expect to click on it and see Search Species and as soon as I type it would replace the text with my text.
• If I choose a genome version. Delete the value in the Species text box. Then click the Species button/link. It should go to the carousel, but if click several times it is going to a blank screen.

Testing the new branch changes

• If I select Triticum aestivum, then the genome version, the genome loads as expected. If I then click the Species dropdown (do not make any changes) and then click on the Genome Version dropdown, the screen goes to the black "Select genome version" even though the Genome Version is still selected. The only way to get out of it is to change the Genome Version back to "Genome Version" and then select the correct genome version.

Fetched Deepthi's new branch for testing, here's some things I noticed that were finicky from a naive user's perspective:

• I'm unable to use the keyboard shortcut to highlight all text in the search box (command+a on Mac)
• I'm unable to use the left/right arrow keys to step through the text in the search box. This would be nice for editing a typo earlier in the search, for example.
• Same issue with the up/down arrow keys for flipping through search results.

I have pushed changes to handle keyboard shortcuts, like command+a, cut, paste, navigating left, right, up, down keys.

Some of the keyboard shortcuts like command+a still are not working as expected. We are going to try to get rid of some of the override code and the placeholder text and see if that fixes things.

saideepthi jagarapu - which branch should I test? I tried IGBF-4132_1 but it wasn't working.

Code for this ticket showed a working prototype, but unfortunately we were not able to get it working as well as we wanted to include in a release. I am creating two PRs for the two branches of this ticket to the Loraine Lab repository so that we do not lose the code.

PR 1: https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/integrated-genome-browser/pull-requests/1092
PR 2: https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/integrated-genome-browser/pull-requests/1093

Once these branches have been added to the Loraine Lab repository this ticket can be closed.
