Below is an example of a gene region plot of peakplotter:

In peakplotter's gene region plot, you can see that the name of some genes are not displayed. This is because they are novel genes, and have not been assigned an external_name value yet. What Ensembl does for these genes is to display the Ensembl Gene Stable ID (e.g. ENSG00000248583). We should probably do the same.
