DESCRIPTION

  This utility removes features from a chromosome and offers the chance to
    replace them with custom features. Custom features should be defined in
    config/features.txt. You must define a sequence segment for the edits;it
    can be the entire chromosome.
   
  The utility can be run in four modes:
    seqdel - The defined sequence segment will be deleted. You can have a
      custom feature inserted in its place.
    seqdelprp - A deletion proposal feature that spans the defined sequence
      segment will be created.  No sequence editing will take place.
    featdel - All features of the target type in the defined sequence segment
      will be deleted. You can have a custom feature inserted in their place.
    featdelprp - Deletion proposal features that span each feature of the target
      type in the defined sequence segment will be created. No sequence editing
      will take place.
    listdel - You provide a list of feature names; all of those features will be
      deleted.
