  Arg [1]    : reference to a string $seqref
  Example    : use Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::Sequence qw(expand);

               $seq = '(AC)3';
               expand(\$seq);
               print $seq;
              

  Description: Expands a genomic sequence. The string is passed by reference
               rather than by value for memory efficiency.
  Returntype : none
  Exceptions : none
  Caller     : SequenceAdaptor, SliceAdaptor

  Arg [1]    : reference to a string $seqref
  Example    : use Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::Sequence qw(reverse_comp);

               reverse_comp(\$seq);
               print $seq;

  Description: Does an in place reverse compliment of a passed in string
               reference.  The string is passed by reference
               rather than by value for memory efficiency.
