#' run FastTree
#'
#' Convenience function for running \href{http://www.microbesonline.org/fasttree/}{FastTree}.
#' Can accept as inputs either file names or DNAStringSets and can optionally
#' return a file or a \link{[data.table]{data.table}} of the blast results.
#'
#' @param seqs Required. Either a file location (string) or a \code{\link[Biostrings]{DNAStringSet}}
#' @param outfile. Optional. Default \code{NULL} Either NULL or a filelocation
#' @param fasttree_args. Optional. Default \code{"--maxiters=2"}. Commandline arguments to pass to FastTree.
