This is great!

`NCBIBlast.jl` is a thin wrapper around the BLAST command line tool,
allowing users to run the tool within Julia.
The following BLAST tools are supported by `NCBIBlast`:
- `blastn`
- `blastp`
- `tblastn`
- `blastx`
- `makeblastdb`

It might be nice to add to this section that a benefit of using the package is that it uses Julia's powerful BinaryBuilder.jl architechture to bundle the BLAST+ executables so that you don't have to deal with that. In other words, if you do add NCBIBLAST, you don't need to have the command line tools available.
