Target sequence nomenclature #36

Open afrubin opened 1 year ago

afrubin commented 1 year ago

The MaveDB API uses the now-outdated term wt_sequence instead of target_sequence inside the models.

This should be updated to use the more generic target_sequence throughout the codebase, since many of the target sequences in the database are not "wild type" in that they don't occur naturally.

A related issue is that we use the term target_gene for the target, and this is not always a gene (it might be a noncoding element like an enhancer).
