[twalsh-ebi]

Requirements

• Filling out the template is required. Any pull request that does not include enough information to be efficiently reviewed may be rejected.
• Please consider which branch this is to be submitted against. This is usually obvious, however if it is to be applied to both a release branch nn and master then please submit it against postreleasefix/nn and let us merge it into to the two branches.

Description

This PR would update EnsEMBL::Web::Document::HTML::Compara::format_wga_table to use packed ALIGNMENTS metadata instead of the Compara Perl API when generating the multiple genomic alignments summary table.

Views affected

This will change how alignment information is fetched for multiple genomic alignments pages.

It is not expected to change what alignments are presented, though it may change the order in which they are presented.

Example: sandbox vs live site

Possible complications

None expected.

Merge conflicts

None detected.
