Feature/genepredbed

Marek Szuba requested to merge feature/genepredbed into release/81

Created by: andrewyatz

This was some code to support the UCSC format extension to BED to support Gene predictions. Details of the format is here:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bigGenePred.html

Some example data from here:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/examples/bigGenePred.txt

This data was GRCh37 data so you have to go back to release 76 or the 37 archive server to get the right data out. As far as I can tell we are doing the right thing. It also fixes a number of issues with incorrect phase representation. It seems the convention is to map them as -1 if they are non-coding and 0 if they are a starting coding exon. We seem to store these as -1 so that wasn't quite in sync with the way UCSC work.
