Re: [Gmod-ajax] JBrowse2 config file

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

Hi Vaneet
It will depend on your particular setup.

JBrowse 2 "likes" a single config.json, particularly because it enables
comparing multiple genomes.

However, for either technical or administrative reasons, some people get
overwhelmed by having a single config, and they make multiple configs

You can navigate to specific configs using

yoursite.com/jbrowse/?config=genomeA_config.json

You can also use the command line to write to specific configs using e.g.

jbrowse add-track --out genomeA_config.json

Finally, you can also optionally write scripts to merge configs. A script
to merge configs tends to be pretty simple, you can simply concatenate the
list of assemblies and tracks from different configs.
