Add the SimSearch Quickload server (facultative)

In order to make it easy to test the SimSearch plugin, we have compiled a Quickload repository with public data (mostly from ENCODE and Roadmap Epigenomics projects) for the human hg19 genome.

To access this repository go to “data access”, “configure”, “add…”, and add the repository: name: “SimSearch” url: https://deib-geco.github.io/simsearch-quickload/. To speed up the plugin, you can also download the Quickload directory and use it locally.
