get_tabix_iter: reason for interval extension #161

Open mchowdh200 opened 2 years ago

mchowdh200 commented 2 years ago

In the function get_tabix_iter, the tabix fetch is done with start-1000 and end+1000. Why do we do this? Is it some sort of padding of the interval based on the plot window? What would happen if the you just used start and end on their own?
