Handle circular genome feature wraparound #2471

Open cmdcolin opened 3 years ago

cmdcolin commented 3 years ago

Random idea

May need to add linear genome view features to allow plotting features that wrap around the origin and maybe check that adapters can handle that (generally i think it uses coordinates that go beyond end of chromosome, not negative coordinates) -and/or- make actual circular genome viewer

inspired by metagenomics increasingly uncovering fully circularized genomes https://twitter.com/lh3lh3/status/1450461393224970246

Similar concept can come up with human with telomeres that go beyond end of start and end of chromosome. the hg19/hg38 have Ns at the start/end that pad it so "show soft clipped reads" can extend into this area but t2t and probably most other de novo assemblies do not use padding
