"""Find ORFs in a nucleotide sequence file.

get_orfs_or_cdss.py $input_fasta $input_format $table $ftype $ends $mode $min_len $strand $out_nuc_file $out_prot_file

Takes ten command line options, input sequence filename, format, genetic
code, CDS vs ORF, end type (open, closed), selection mode (all, top, one),
minimum length (in amino acids), strand (both, forward, reverse), output
nucleotide filename, and output protein filename.
