Why is there a transcript coordinate difference between positive and negative strand transcripts? #282

Positive strand transcript coords start with index 1, while Negative strand transcripts start with 0.

This can be seen on the web app

negative strand transcript http://www.broadinstitute.org/oncotator_beta/transcript/ENST00000288602.6/

This has to do with how transcript exons are encoded and how python treats start and end positions.
