get genomic_pos data from NCBI? #50

Open newgene opened 6 years ago

newgene commented 6 years ago

Currently, our genomic_pos and genomic_pos_hg19 fields are coming from Ensembl, therefore, only available for those species included in Ensembl release.

We should find out a good data source from NCBI for the genomic position data, hopefully, cover more species.

Or UCSC genome browser?

I hope NCBI will cover more species than those included in UCSC genome browser. But, yes, if needed, we can get the data from UCSC as well.
