Re: [Gmod-ajax] JBrowse 2 features

[Colin <col...@gm...>]

Hi Vaneet,
JBrowse 2 is definitely where most of our effort is now,

JBrowse 1 will probably continue on in maintenance mode with not a lot of
new development. We did just release a new 1.16.11 for JBrowse 1 for
example, but most of our work is on JBrowse 2

We currently have a developer working on the gene name/ID search for
JBrowse 2, so that should be incorporated soon.

Also, having multibigwig style feature in JBrowse 2, or grouped track
autoscaling, would also be great. We don't have this yet but these needs
are very common

I created this issue to track grouped track autoscaling, you can subscribe
to the issue if you have a github account
