Fix Plasmodium falciparum (malaria parasite) genome #226

Closed eweitz closed 4 years ago

eweitz commented 4 years ago

This fixes Ideogram display for the genome of Plasmodium falciparum, the malaria parasite. Like yeast, it seems this was caused by an upstream change in an NCBI API or database -- see #225 for details.

This also standardizes Plasmodium chromosome names. The newly-inlined chromosome data comes from the NCBI Assembly record, specifically the full sequence report. Notably, Ideogram replaces that report's idiosyncratic labels for non-nuclear chromosomes with standard equivalents. Where the report uses "API" for the apicoplast chromosome, Ideogram uses "AP"; similarly "MIT" (mitochondrial chromosome) is replaced by "MT". The chromosomes "AP" and "MT" match all other organisms.
