Unclear origin of the UCSC genome browser "uc\d{3}[a-z]{3}\.\d" type identifier #17

Open egonw opened 3 years ago

Following up from https://github.com/bridgedb/datasources/issues/2 and consulting the UC genome browser team ("I cannot find any gene with that identifier, so that may be the problem"), it is unclear what the correct fix is for the issue. The link out points out the browser directly, but either takes a gene name (like TP53) or a chromosal position. See also http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQlink.html#genes
