Use "Jackhammer Method" to perform MSA

    Usage:
        jackhmmer --incE 1e-4 -E 1e-4 -N 8 -A align.out --notextw HBB_HUMAN globins45.fa > jkhm.log
            *inclusion threshold and final output threshold: 1e-4
            *maximum iteration: -N 8
            *HBB_HUMAN:query sequence
            *globins45.fa:searching database
            *align.out: only alignment output would present
            *jkhm.log : log files for all jackhmmer
    Explanation:
        *the original sequence is always included in the MSA
        *the length of "consenus" colomns equal to the query length L
        *'L' marks the end of the results for one query
    Output:
        *"new" sequence with a+ pass the threshod in the  current round
        *"old" sequence with a- pass the threshod in the previous round
