I think, it would be great to have helper functions to support the automatic setup of the VEP cache (we do similar stuff for SnpEff and FAVOR), so bsaically always downloading from https://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/current_variation/indexed_vep_cache/ - The same for the plugins and the reference sequence?

In the local configs reference sequence is GRCh38 - input_fasta: vep_data/genomes/Gencode/Gencode_human/release_40/GRCh38.primary_assembly.genome.fa - while the genome_assembly is said to be GRCh37. Could we have a check, which ensures that this aligns? Are the results for the Docker test Eva did correct?
