Investigate UCSC External View not working

        Details

        • Type: Task

          Description

          Situation: The External View tab does not appear to be working for UCSC. Based on the following URL, it looks like UCSC is blocking programmatic access to the site:
          https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?pix=800&db=hg19&position=chr1:6203693-6206373

          There is a FAQ on the UCSC website that says programmatic access can be restored with an API key:
          https://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdownloads.html#CAPTCHA

          Task: Email the UCSC team to determine if we can get an API key for IGB or if they can whitelist us. In the meantime, disable the external view tab.
