Trello: https://trello.com/b/WAMAUQjB/stp-year2-software-eng-project

Description: Create a Flask web application to provide a user-friendly interface for interacting with the PanelApp data stored in the database. The interface should allow users to visualise and query data dynamically.

Requirements:

1. Frontend Features:

• Develop a clean and simple UI using Flask templates (e.g., Jinja2) to display PanelApp data.
• Include search functionality to filter data based on disorders, genes, phenotypes, or evidence levels.
• Provide pagination for large datasets.

2. Backend Features:

• Use Flask to handle API requests and serve data dynamically from the database.
• Implement appropriate routes for querying and returning filtered data.

3. Performance and Usability:

• Optimise queries for efficient data retrieval.
• Add input validation to ensure the robustness of the application.

4. Testing and Documentation:

• Write unit tests to validate the functionality of the Flask routes and database queries.
• Provide a README.md with setup instructions and usage details for the Flask app.
