[Gmod-help] polypeptide view in Gbrowse

Hi Lincoln and Newton,

I was under the impression that the draw_protein option was
incompletely implemented, but if it works with other database
adaptors, perhaps there is a bug in the Chado GBrowse adaptor.  Have
you tried the cds glyph, which should display residues when zoomed in
far enough?  If draw_protein doesn't work but the cds glyph does, it
indicates a Bio::Graphics problem.  If neither work, it is more likely
a Chado adaptor or data problem.

As for the T. cruzi problem--I don't see anything in the data that
looks problematic.  Where there any error messages while loading or in
the apache error_log (with a preemptive note: error messages about
Bio::Graphics::BrowserConfig don't mean anything)?
