Description: Description: Provides streamlined tools for retrieving sequences from NCBI,
    performing sequence alignments (pairwise and multiple), and building
    phylogenetic trees. Implements the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm for global
    alignment (Needleman & Wunsch (1970) <doi:10.1016/0022-2836(70)90057-4>),
    Smith-Waterman for local alignment (Smith & Waterman (1981) 
    <doi:10.1016/0022-2836(81)90087-5>), and Neighbor-Joining for tree
    construction (Saitou & Nei (1987) <doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.molbev.a040454>).
