Genomic context aka neighborhood analyses

[ ] edirect and eutils to fetch genes of interest (from a list)
- [ ] + slurm
[ ] user-input: no. of neighbors on each side (default: ±7)
[ ] user-input: filter by intergenic distance (200bp)
[ ] identify orientation of genes
[ ] back to tab-delim format with <- || -> | A -> B -> C||<- D
[ ] option: indicate query with * or some other marker
[ ] first: append final GC column to the BLAST output file
[ ] add DA for each of the neighbors' accessions
[ ] finally: replace with GC column above with DA+GC A+B -> C+D
