download result set

[ajo2995]

Users should be able to download the set of genes from a search. They will choose attributes to include such as those on biomart. Since search results span multiple genomes, we can include taxon_id and species name. Here's a checklist of things to do for this feature

• put taxa-genomic distribution in a tab and create a tab for download
• decide which attributes we can include and choose a default set
• group attributes in some meaningful way
• create a stateful component that keeps track of the selected attributes
• make an API call to fetch selected attributes
• format JSON response as a table (expand multivalued attributes)
• display a preview of the results (10 genes)
• add button to download the results as tsv

Here is a simple test case (I'm only looking for maize genes, but it can be applied to multiple species): I want a list of genes involved in methylation or chromatin remodeling, and be able to sort out the different categories. Note that hits from "all genes that contain or start with the word..." might be very big
