Thank you for your effort in developing and maintaining this tool!

I received a 404 response for requesting http://dee2.io/metadata/hsapiens_metadata.tsv.cut when I tried to obtain DEE2 data for 'hsapiens'. This issue broke the functions 'getDee2Metadata' and 'getDEE2' for getting 'hsapiens' data.

For replicating the issue, try the following code: > mdat<-getDee2Metadata("hsapiens") trying URL 'http://dee2.io/metadata/hsapiens_metadata.tsv.cut' Error in download.file(metadataURL, destfile = metadataname, mode = "wb", : cannot open URL 'http://dee2.io/metadata/hsapiens_metadata.tsv.cut' In addition: Warning message: In download.file(metadataURL, destfile = metadataname, mode = "wb", : cannot open URL 'http://dee2.io/metadata/hsapiens_metadata.tsv.cut': HTTP status was '404 Not Found'

Or directly make request to http://dee2.io/metadata/hsapiens_metadata.tsv.cut

Hi @uilnauyis, thanks for raising this issue. It looks like a softlink to the metadata was broken for some reason on the webserver. Seems like the other species are OK. I have confirmed that http://dee2.io/metadata/hsapiens_metadata.tsv.cut is working now.
