populate preloaded genomes with custom json

[matthdsm]

Hi Jim,

I was wondering if there's a way to populate the preloaded genomes with custom values?
For example, I'd like to add a button to switch between genomes. Those genomes have custom id's, files and additional tracks associated to them.
Is it possible to populate the Genome object with those values so we're able to use the igv.GenomeUtils functions or the igv.browser.loadGenome() function?
Thanks

For example, we'd like to replace the fastaURL for hg38 with a locally hosted file and add some additional tracks to that entry, without having to hard-code it into the page.
Also, we'd like to add things like a noalt version of hg38.

I just pushed a configuration parameter for this, e.g.

genomeList: "https://s3.amazonaws.com/igv.org.genomes/genomes.json"

You can also put the json array inline, rather than use a URL.
