###### Output type description ######
# cds - translated sequence (starting with ATG and ending with a stop codon included)
# cdna - transcribed sequence (devoid of introns, but containing untranslated exons)
# protein - cds translated (includes a * as the stop codon)
# gene - the entire gene sequence (including UTRs and introns)
# upstream3000 - the 3000 upstream region of the gene (likely including the promoter)
