only for euks/humans? #16

Found dalliance and DAS while looking around for genome browsers, and it's definitely the coolest-looking one I've found. However, despite billing itself as a general purpose genome browser, it seems hard-coded to view eukaryotic genomes, the human one in particular. For instance, it seems hard-coded to query a "karyotype" endpoint for features of type "karyotype." I want to visualize bacterial and archaeal genomes, or even just contigs, so there technically is no karyotype.

So is this really a general purpose browser, or is it only for eukaryotes? Am I missing some configuration options that will just let me show arbitrary features from a DSN?

+1 Most recently assembled genomes are collections of contigs or scaffolds, not chromosomes.
