Showing features on reverse strand that are imported via URI "add" parameter

[KimJBaran]

GBrowse does not show a feature on the reverse strand, if added as follows:

http://www.wormbase.org/tools/genome/gbrowse/c_briggsae/?name=chrV:13058784..13065097;add=chrV+Hits+Hits+13062147-13060275

The glyph for "Hits" should indicate that the feature is on the reverse strand, i.e. the glyph should be flipped.

I tried:

1. reversing the coordinate (13060275-13062147), which does not change anything
2. adding "flip=1" to the URL, which flips everything
3. adding "style=...", which breaks everything (the "Hits" track breaks)

Hi Joachim,

I think you can't do that, even though it seems like you should be able to; I suspect it's a bug. The closest to showing it on the reverse strand that I've been able to do via a GET add parameter is to make the style so that it is not stranded (so at least it isn't the opposite of what you wanted), but adding "style=Hits+stranded=0" to the URL, but that seems to be ignored by the Wormbase instance of GBrowse anyway (I don't know what version Wormbase is running); I tested it with 2.54 with the yeast sample database and a URL that looks like this:

http://ec2-50-17-122-22.compute-1.amazonaws.com/cgi-bin/gb2/gbrowse/yeast/?add=chrI+Hits+Hits+151000..150000;style=Hits+glyph=generic+stranded=0

This should be filed as a bug report:

Ok, I'll work on a fix for this.
