JBrowse search by coordinates

Raymond brings up difficulty in using coordinates to search and retrieve sequence within those coordinates - simple sequence We used to have a BioDBGFF that allowed one to do that
PNuin - searching by coordinates in WormMine will only return the gene within the coordinates searched, not surrounding area
Scott proposes to write something that would return all the sequence of coordinate search, will check around to see if something already exists.
Raymond sees that WormMine has the capability, but returns a more detailed return based on annotations, PNuin with look into the tool and see if it can be set to return just sequence.

ParaSite BioMart may do this.
Paul - people want simple returns.
