Title: Allows sequences to be retrieved from the local database

If a local DB is provided as a command line argument, then BLAST is run against this local database. For the alignment and duplication validation, the sequences for each of the hits are required.

Currently, these raw sequences are obtained by connecting to NCBI which wastes time since all these sequences can be found in the local db.

This PR simply allows sequences to be retrieved from the local database.
