Strip technical info from the description field of gene annotations #20

Thanks, Stephen, for this package, I've been using it for ages. This PR strips technical info (e.g., "[Source:HGNC Symbol;Acc:HGNC:233]") from the description field of the gene annotation objects as it is not very informative. Please, close if not necessary.

Results are the same, only the description field is cleaner:
