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>).
