In working that example query for the folks interested in 2kb upstream flanking regions, I used the example set of Cajanus genes and noticed that only 2 of them actually returned flanking regions in the query I made. As far as I can tell, it may be because three of the example genes are on scaffolds and only 2 on chromosomes, but this is just a conjecture. In any case, although genes on supercontigs are becoming more exceptional as assemblies become better, I don't think we ought to treat them as second class citizens. They didn't even seem to get an embedded JBrowse- now that's harsh!
