W-ASAP - range search

[fhennig]

We want users to be able to look at ranges of base indices. I.e. all nucleotide mutations 100 to 200.

Not quite sure how to implement this yet from a UI perspective. We could allow users to have a text input like "50-100,200-300" and we parse that; or we could come up with a more sophisticated UI.

Yes, how to visualize this is indeed yet unclear. This is probably something of W-ASAP Dashboard v2.

One untested idea is to use Sequence Logo Plots. Here, a user would be less interested in a fine time resolution, rather, something like last month, and then get one plot. This is because the real purpose of these plots is to design primers for a certain virus, adapting it coarsely to the mutational landscape, so that it still works for most variants.

Tracking my experimentation here:

The range search is interesting for primer development - for now we could hardcode this file, maybe. And later let people upload files like this.
