Browse all tracks across reference genome #1

(This might already be possible @kylechard ?)

The jbrowse viewer should be able to view all tracks in our catalog across all datasets, with the only limitation that they must all belong to the same reference genome.

The JBrowse plugin lets you pass in several IDs that are all shown together. How do you imagine this feature working? I assume it wouldn't be shown in the per dataset view but rather be linked to as an external page (e.g., for mm9?). To do this properly we need to have the reference genomes in the ERMrest model.

the genomes are in the database, and the track_data all reference that.

there are 2 ways I can imagine this would be useful:

  1. from a dataset, be able to enable other datasets of tracks (need a hierarchical orgzniation otherwise it will be a too many tracks in a flat listing)
  2. from the facebase website, we should add link from the "static" site to jbrowse for each genome assembly that we have data for.

i mainly had the second option in mind when i jotted down this issue.
