=head1 NAME

 AncestralAllele

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 mv AncestralAllele.pm ~/.vep/Plugins
 ./vep -i variations.vcf --plugin AncestralAllele,homo_sapiens_ancestor_GRCh38_e86.fa.gz

=head1 DESCRIPTION

 A VEP plugin that retrieves ancestral allele sequences from a FASTA file.

 Ensembl produces FASTA file dumps of the ancestral sequences of key species.
 They are available from ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/current_fasta/ancestral_alleles/

 For optimal retrieval speed, you should pre-process the FASTA files into a single
 bgzipped file that can be accessed via Bio::DB::HTS::Faidx (installed by VEP's
 INSTALL.pl):

 wget ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-90/fasta/ancestral_alleles/homo_sapiens_ancestor_GRCh38_e86.tar.gz
 tar xfz homo_sapiens_ancestor_GRCh38_e86.tar.gz
 cat homo_sapiens_ancestor_GRCh38_e86/*.fa | bgzip -c > homo_sapiens_ancestor_GRCh38_e86.fa.gz
 rm -rf homo_sapiens_ancestor_GRCh38_e86/ homo_sapiens_ancestor_GRCh38_e86.tar.gz
 ./vep -i variations.vcf --plugin AncestralAllele,homo_sapiens_ancestor_GRCh38_e86.fa.gz

 The plugin is also compatible with Bio::DB::Fasta and an uncompressed FASTA file.

 Note the first time you run the plugin with a newly generated FASTA file it will
 spend some time indexing the file. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS, particularly
 if you do not have Bio::DB::HTS installed.

 Special cases:
   "-" represents an insertion
   "?" indicates the chromosome could not be looked up in the FASTA
