Are the API calls /evidencePath and /geneCount still needed?

/evidencePath

From the Js comments, it looks like this was used in the evidence table to go to a network view about the genes and paths associated to a given evidence concept (ie, hit by search string and related to genes).

It appears that the KnetMiner application doesn't use this anymore, the question here is: do we have clients around that rely on this call, or can we remove it from the codebase?

/geneCount

Same question, is this still in use? No trace in the .js. The code consider only a gene list as input, then it uses it to compute a network view and finally returns some counts from the resulting subgraph.

It's not used by us or others. It gets ondexIds and does shortest paths plus some filtering. Can be removed if the code is not useful.

Thanks @KeywanHP. What about /geneCount? KnetMiner client has no call for it.

Same for /geneCount - should be safe to remove it.
