💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with ataserinyelMSA
Create a command-line tool called 'BioAligner' that leverages the 'ataserinyelMSA' package to perform multiple sequence alignment on biological sequences. This tool should allow users to input a set of DNA or protein sequences and output the aligned sequences. Here are the steps and features you should include:

1. **Sequence Input**: Users should be able to provide their sequences either through a file upload or directly in the command line.
2. **Alignment Execution**: Utilize the 'ataserinyelMSA' package to align the sequences using the MAFFT algorithm. Ensure the user can specify different parameters for the alignment process if needed.
3. **Output Display**: The aligned sequences should be displayed in a clear and readable format. Additionally, provide options for exporting the results to common formats such as FASTA or PHYLIP.
4. **Help Documentation**: Include comprehensive help documentation accessible via a '--help' option that explains all available commands and options.
5. **Error Handling**: Implement robust error handling to manage invalid inputs, file read errors, and other potential issues gracefully.
6. **Version Information**: Add a version information flag ('--version') that shows the current version of BioAligner.
7. **Optional Features**: Consider adding optional features like sequence quality filtering, automatic detection of sequence type (DNA/Protein), and alignment visualization capabilities.

Ensure your implementation is modular, well-documented, and adheres to best coding practices. Use Python's argparse module for command-line argument parsing and ensure the tool is easy to install and run.
