orient command

Orient nucleotide sequences in a FASTA or FASTQ file to the same strand as a database.

The -fastaout option is a FASTA filename for the oriented sequences.

The -fastqout option is a FASTQ filename for the oriented sequences (requires FASTQ input).

The -notmatched option is an output file for sequences with undetermined orientation. It will be FASTA or FASTQ, depending on the input file format.

Multithreading is supported.
