Add option to directly query NCBI Assembly database #8

Open flass opened 5 years ago

It would be great to be able to provide as input a query string as used in the NCBI Entrez system to automatically generate the list of assemblies to download, rather than asking the user to build this list and provide it through -L option. e.g. : ‘(txid82115[Organism:exp] OR txid255475[Organism:exp]) AND ("latest refseq"[filter] NOT anomalous[filter]) AND ("98000"[ContigN50] : "20000000"[ContigN50])’

Such alternative input string could be passed trough a new option; I reserve -Q for this.
