Better handling for remapped features which span boundaries in the mapping alignment #82

Open dasmoth opened 10 years ago

dasmoth commented 10 years ago

The initial mapping code took a conservative approach and discarded "broken" features. This works well for mapping between similar assemblies, but is sub-optimal between more distant species, and potentially interferes with more interesting uses of the mapping infrastructure, such as https://github.com/dasmoth/dalliance/issues/63.

Suggested plan:

Any other special cases we need?

The back-end side of this is done now. Partially mapped features have partialMin and/or partialMax attributes indicating how many bases of the partially-mapped feature have been trimmed.
