• Add:

 <lineage>
 	title = Cell Lineage
 	display = both
 	display_in_dropdown yes
 </lineage>

under <tools>

Add it to the model

Still in wormbase.conf

• Find Model::WormBaseAPI/args/tool

Create the controller

• Create lineage.pm in lib/WormBase/API/Service/tree.pm

Create the view

• Create lineage directory in root/templates/tools, create index.tt2 template inside.
