Documented in find_genes_qtls_around_markers

#' Search genes and QTLs around candidate regions
#'
#' Takes a list of candidate markers and or regions (haplotypes, CNVs, windows, etc.) and search for genes or QTLs in a determined interval
#' @param db_file The data frame obtained using the import_gff_gtf() function
#' @param marker_file The file with the SNP or haplotype positions. Detail: For SNP files, the columns “CHR” and “BP” with the chromosome and base pair position, respectively, are mandatory. For the haplotype, the following columns are mandatory: “CHR”, “BP1” and “BP2”
#' @param method “gene” or “qtl”
#' @param marker "snp" or "haplotype"
#' @param interval The interval in base pair which can be included upstream and downstream from the markers or haplotype coordinates.
#' @param nThreads Number of threads to be used
#' @param  verbose Logical value defining if messages should of not be printed during the analysis (default=TRUE)
#' @return A dataframe with the genes or QTLs mapped within the specified intervals
