circtools exon should support more species #85

Closed tjakobi closed 4 years ago

tjakobi commented 4 years ago

Currently, the exon module only allows human, rat, and mouse species to be selected - based on the (really old) Ens.Db.* packages.

However, for many species these packages don't even exist.

Solution: fallback to biomart for ID conversion and information retrieval.
