is strelka's extended option --region=REGION appropriate to specify target region for panel or exome

[Christian Rausch]

Dear all,

* this could decrease the runtime in case of panel / exome sequencing data as only the relevant part of the genome needs to be analyzed, right?
* are there disadvantages? E.g. would it be better if strelka could also analyze the border region around the exome region?
* can the option --region=REGION accept a bed file?

Thanks,
Christian
