Utility function to get a gene list from a set of regions.

1 2	gene_from_regions(regions, annotations.list, flank.size = c(-3000, 3000), region.types = c("Gene body", "Promoter", "Downstream", "Distal", "All"))

`regions`	A GRanges object with regions to be associated to genes.
`annotations.list`	A list of annotation databases returned by `select_annotations`.
`flank.size`	The extent around the TSS which is considered the promoter region.
`region.types`	A character vector representing region types which will cause a gene association. These can be: Promoter Promoter region (upstream and downstream of the TSS). Gene body Promoter, Exons, introns, 5' and 3' UTRs. Downstream Region downstream of the TES. Distal Regions which do not fit any of the above category. All All of the above.
