Create small subset of an Ensembl release for testing #69

Closed iskandr closed 8 years ago

Testing indexing & database creation is infeasibly slow on full Ensembl releases. We should make a small subset of e.g. release 79 (with only a few genes and all their transcripts) for testing database initialization.

I think we gave up on this idea in favor of slightly faster parsing to make the tests finish in ~30 minutes.
