		Strand-Wise Gene and Protein Extraction from GFF3 Files //
		Facilitates the extraction and organization of strand-specific
		genomic features from GFF3 files. In many species and variants,
		high quality genome annotations are not always available,
		necessitating de novo annotation using tools such as AUGUSTUS
		(Stanke et al., 2006; doi:10.1093/nar/gkl200). However,
		downstream processing of such annotations to obtain structured
		information, such as strand-wise gene locations, transcript
		regions, and associated protein identifierscan be
		computationally intensive and complex. 'GFFStrandLoc' provides
		a streamlined framework to parse GFF3 files and generate
		structured outputs containing strand-wise and region-wise
		genomic coordinates for each transcript, along with their
		associated protein information. Additionally, it enables users
		to define custom promoter lengths and extract corresponding
		promoter region coordinates for genes in a strand-aware manner.
		By simplifying post-annotation processing, it enhances the
		usability of de novo annotated genomic datasets for downstream
		analysis and interpretation.
