=head1 NAME

flanks - finding flanking sequences for a variant in a sequence position

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  flanks --position POS [-p POS ...]  [--flanklen INT]
         accession | filename

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This script allows you to extract a subsequence around a region of
interest from an existing sequence. The output if fasta formatted
sequence entry where the header line contains additional information
about the location.

=head1 OPTIONS

The script takes one unnamed argument which be either a file name in
the local file system or a nucleotide sequence accession number.


  -p         Position uses simple nucleotide sequence feature table
  --position notation to define the region of interest, typically a
             SNP or microsatellite repeat around which the flanks are
             defined.

             There can be more than one position option or you can
             give a comma separated list to one position option.

             The format of a position is:

                 [id:] int | range | in-between [-]

             The optional id is the name you want to call the new
             sequence. If it not given in joins running number to the
             entry name with an underscore.

             The position is either a point (e.g. 234), a range (e.g
             250..300) or insertion point between nucleotides
             (e.g. 234^235)

             If the position is not completely within the source
             sequence the output sequence will be truncated and it
             will print a warning.

             The optional hyphen [-] at the end of the position
             indicates that that you want the retrieved sequence to be
             in the opposite strand.


  -f         Defaults to 100. This is the length of the nucleotides
  --flanklen sequence retrieved on both sides of the given position.

             If the source file does not contain 

=head1 OUTPUT FORMAT

The output is a fasta formatted entry where the description file
contains tag=value pairs for information about where in the original
sequence the subsequence was taken.

The ID of the fasta entry is the name given at the command line joined
by hyphen to the filename or accesion of the source sequence. If no id
is given a series of consequtive integers is used.

The tag=value pairs are:

=over 3

=item oripos=int

position in the source file

=item strand=1|-1

strand of the sequence compared to the source sequence

=item allelepos=int

position of the region of interest in the current entry.
The tag is the same as used by dbSNP@NCBI

=back

The sequence highlights the allele variant position by showing it in
upper case and rest of the sequence in lower case characters.

=head1 TODO

The input files are assumed to be in EMBL format and the sequences are
retrieved only from the EMB database. Make this more generic and use
the registry.
