Option to try aligning reverse complement of failed sequences

[wasade]

If a sequence fails, it should be reverse complemented and attempted again. PyNAST currently does not align the sequence below, even though it is a 100% match in blast to staphylococcus aureus and thus well represented by neighbors in the coreset.

On further investigation with @gregcaporaso, we discovered that running pynast directly on this sequence works, as does running it through QIIME's align_seqs.py and parallel_align_seqs.py. However, when this sequence is part of a larger collection, the sequence fails to align (at least when using parallel_align_seqs.py). It is possible this issue will need to migrate to QIIME's repository as we work through the problem.
