EnsemblSeq Get Region Sequence

Get the DNA nucleotide sequence for a specific genomic region from Ensembl. Retrieves the reference genome sequence for given chromosome coordinates. Useful for examining regulatory regions, intergenic sequences, or any arbitrary genomic interval. Example: region '17:7668421-7668520' in homo_sapiens returns 100 bp of the TP53 locus. Supports any Ensembl species and coordinate strand.
