Oh right, we edit those files on the QAI web site, but that's not published in this repository.
Would you consider writing the editor in Python with tkinter to avoid bringing another language into the repository? Just a suggestion, of course.
Another option besides a GUI tool would be to build on the fetch_sequences.py
script and specify the projects in some higher-level form. Maybe a YAML file that lists the accession numbers to download. After editing the high-level definition file, you could run fetch_sequences.py
to generate the detailed definitions in projects.json
.
This is getting bumped in priority, because the QAI pages that we use to edit the project definitions are not going to be supported in the new version of Ruby. Instead of fixing those, I think we should add an editor to this project.
Options to consider:
Sorry no, I haven't had the time to do any work on my student's JavaScript code for manipulating the JSON file.
I'm starting to write an R function to make it easier to customize
projects.json
-- it's currently a bit of a bear to edit manually. Just checking in to avoid duplication of effort.
