Map an Ensembl species name to an igv.js genome build and, where known, a hosted Ensembl GFF3 annotation for that build

igv.js ships a handful of stock genomes with their own default annotation track (RefSeq), which only shows canonical/collapsed transcripts. Where a hosted, tabix-indexed Ensembl GFF3 is publicly available for that build, we additionally load it as a second track to show the full transcript catalog.

Usage

geneModelGenomeInfo(ensembl_species)

Arguments

ensembl_species

Ensembl species definition like 'hsapiens'

Value

A list with genome (an igv.js genome build name) and, optionally, gff3_url/gff3_index_url; or NULL if no igv.js build is known for ensembl_species.
