Rename project

[hammer]

Not urgent but we have done the refactoring to make non-Ensembl data sources possible and we should acknowledge this fact in the name before publishing an application note.

Unfortunately, pygenome is already taken.

Anyone (@armish, @tavinathanson, @timodonnell) have other ideas?

[armish]

• pyref
• pyome || pyrefome (#bad-omics)
• pyreference
• pygenotation || pyrefotation
• pygenio || pyrefio

[tavinathanson]

Looks like genompy is taken by a similar Ensembl library.

@tavinathanson @timodonnell @arahuja Opinions on calling the project pygenes and having subdirectories for ensembl, ucsc, and maybe other data sources like VectorBase? Every subdir would have a corresponding genome object like ensembl.EnsemblGenome and ucsc.RefSeqGenome, each of which inherit from the source-agnostic pygenes.Genome.

@iskandr: I like that idea and also the new name: simple and to the point. If there is no immediate use case, I would say don't worry about resources like VectorBase but leave the door open for its implementation by other people.

Digging the name pygenes!

Once we rename to Pygenes we may want to support CHESS as an alternate source of annotations.
