Requirements

  • Filling out the template is required. Any pull request that does not include enough information to be efficiently reviewed may be rejected.
  • Please consider which branch this is to be submitted against. This is usually obvious, however if it is to be applied to both a release branch nn and master then please submit it against postreleasefix/nn and let us merge it into to the two branches.

Description

EPO_LOW_COVERAGE alignments were renamed to EPO_EXTENDED in Ensembl release 101.

This pull request would update web code to support this renamed method type.

Views affected

These changes would affect Compara genome alignment views.

EnsEMBL::Web::Component::Compara_Alignments

Alignment tables will show the relevant EPO reference genome

Examples:

  • Pig - Ningxiang region 1:101985531-102506489 on sandbox vs staging : see the "Location on Pig" column, visible on sandbox but not on staging.
  • Bolivian squirrel monkey region JH378319.1:103833-103839 on sandbox vs staging : see the "Location on Human" column, visible on sandbox but not on staging. To get a sense of the difference this change makes, try clicking on the links to "Block 1" or "Block 2" on the sandbox and staging sites.

More accurate EPO-Extended alignment info will be retrieved

EPO-Extended examples:

  • Primates EPO-Extended alignment of Human region 17:63992802-64238237 on sandbox vs staging
  • EPO-Extended alignment of Ninxiang pig breed region 1:101985531-102006489 on sandbox vs staging
  • EPO-Extended alignment of Horse region 2:55144620-55829364 on sandbox vs staging

See the legend and labelling of EPO and EPO-Extended genome assemblies in the alignment tree view.

Other alignment examples:

  • Primates EPO alignment of Human region 17:63992802-64238237 on sandbox vs staging
  • Mercator-Pecan alignment of Human region 17:63992802-64238237 on sandbox vs staging

Note removal of EPO-Extended legend entry.

EnsEMBL::Web::ConfigPacker

Changes in this module will prevent unwanted addition of ancestral_sequences to the species set of EPO-Extended alignments.

Example:

Note the "Hidden and missing species" info box in the staging webpage.
