[Go] question about download page

[Midori Harris]

My guess would be that TAS isn't placed correctly; it's been a last-resort 
code used in manual annotation, when a curator is inclined to believe 
something an author says despite being unable to track down an experiment. 
I'm not aware of it being used for any kind of computational analysis.
