Strains: expand or modify available options in genotype dropdown list.

As of version 2.0.7, the first several fields in strain genotypes, including "mating type", ade2, his3, leu2, lys2, met15, trp1, and ura3, accept values provided in dropdown lists.

For example, for the ade2 locus, available options include several combinations of ADE2 and ade2-1.

It would nice to be able to edit this dropdown list to include other locus variants depending on the needs of each lab. For example, to have "ade2Delta" as an additional option for the ade2 locus.

An alternative is to have these fields acepting arbitary strings, like the remaining genotype fields. Currently, it is not possible to type some text and move on.

Good point, thank you. These dropdowns are defined by tables in the database and the administrator should have a way to edit these tables other than doing it directly from within MySQL. We'll work on this in two shots:

1. We will add BREADs for the tables of allelic markers. This is easy to implement.
2. The longer shot relates to issue #25 where we'd like to have a general table of all genetic markers,instead of one table per marker. Whenever this is implemented, editing any allele in this general table will be possible. However, this requires a bit of time, especially because of the need to migrate the current tables (and their content) into this future one.

OK. Point 1 above is done. Alleles's BREADS will appear in next release. I close this issue in favor of #25.
