Description

Related to https://github.com/manulera/ShareYourCloning_backend/issues/182.

Not sure how long the urls of AddGene are kept around, so there's a chance that they will be removed and the source will no longer be possible to be re-run. Also, maybe the sequence / annotation may change. Some way of warning the user that that's the case could be good. May need something in the frontend as well.
