- *     This version of nast does everything I think that the greengenes nast server does and then some.  I have added the 
- *     feature of allowing users to define their database, kmer size for searching, alignment penalty values and alignment 
- *     method.  This latter feature is perhaps most significant.  nastPlus enables a user to use either a Needleman-Wunsch 
- *     (non-affine gap penalty) or Gotoh (affine gap penalty) pairwise alignment algorithm.  This is significant because it
- *     allows for a global alignment and not the local alignment provided by bLAst.  Furthermore, it has the potential to
- *     provide a better alignment because of the banding method employed by blast (I'm not sure about this).
