Description

Description of feature

variant screenshots might be useful using IGV REPORT tool. The tool exist in nf-core modules yet it needs further implementation since it lacks --tracks parameter which is needed to add bam files.

one danger in adding this too is overheating the memory with many screenshots for the analysis including thousands of variants. Thus definitely will need a limit parameter,

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing IGV REPORT implementation in the nf-core modules and nf-core/modules PR #5263, especially the missing --tracks support. Then inspect how this pipeline invokes the tool. Done means variant screenshots can include BAM tracks and a limit prevents producing an unsafe number of screenshots.
