flo - same species annotations lift over pipeline

Lift over is the process of transferring annotations from one genome assembly to another. Usually lift over is done because there is a new, improved genome assembly for the species and good quality annotations (maybe manually curated or experimentally verified) are available on the old assembly.

The idea is simple: align the new assembly with the old one (e.g., with BLAT), process the alignment data to define how a coordinate or coordinate range on the old assembly should be transformed to the new assembly (e.g., as a chain file), transform the coordinates (e.g., with liftOver).
