The CGViewBuilder 2.0 parser for converting GenBank, EMBL, and FASTA files into CGView Map JSON has been completely redesigned in JavaScript, bringing several key improvements:

• Enhanced Error Handling: Now supports non-standard GenBank files generated by third-party tools (e.g., SnapGene, Geneious), minimizing parsing errors.
• Improved Performance: Genome files are processed directly in the browser, providing a faster and more streamlined workflow.
• Support for Complex Features: Features with multiple locations are no longer skipped and are displayed as joined feature segments:

• Detailed Log: After uploading a genome, a log is generated that outlines the parsing process and highlights any errors or warnings encountered during the conversion.
• New Import Settings: Access additional options via the settings button:
  • Customizable Feature Names: Select which feature qualifiers to use (and their order) when choosing feature names.
  • Feature Types Selection: Control which feature types to include or exclude from the map.
  • Qualifier Selection: Choose which feature qualifiers to include or exclude. Qualifiers will appear in popups when hovering over features and, in the future, will be viewable, editable, and searchable in the Feature Pane.
