[Gmod-ajax] JBrowse2 config.json

[Ke J. <bio...@gm...>]

Hi,

I've been playing with JBrowse2 first release for a few days. In
JBorwse (1), I've been using a strategy to separate configuration and data
for multiple genomes by creating config.json for each genome (and pointing
data to the corresponding genomic data). It worked pretty well as it
reduced chances of messing up other genomes while making changes to one
genome. I noticed for JBrowse2, there is a master config.json sitting in
the JBrowe2 folder and we lay out multiple genomes and assemblies in it. Is
this the way to manage multiple genomes in JBrowse2 now? Because JBrowse2
has to consider the multiple genome view for synteny, so everything has to
be in one single config.json? Or more generally, what is the general idea
(or best practices?) of handling multiple organisms in JBrowse2?

Thanks again for the development of JBrowse 2! It is truly exciting to see
it!
