Check if protein or nt before running alignment? #13

I just created an accidental test case. I had a nt file mixed in with my protein files. When diaomond tried to map it-- it didn't recognize it as a nt file and tried to align it without success. I think we should build in an assertion that a file passed is in fact what it claims to be (protein or nucleotide). Could potentially do this with BioPython... or maybe write our own.

Nt file mixed in with protein files but with protein extension? @halexand

Hah, yes. Just me doing something stupid. But... it is a possible use case ;)

Assume people don't have the best data management skills.
