Comments : For HSPs partially or completely derived from translated sequences
: (TBLASTN, BLASTX, TBLASTX, or similar), some positional data
: cannot easily be attributed to a single position (i.e. the
: positional data is ambiguous). In these cases all three codon
: positions are reported. Under these conditions you can check
: ambiguous_seq_inds() to determine whether the query, subject,
: or both are ambiguous.

Returns : String; 'query', 'subject', 'query/subject', or empty string ''
Argument : none
Comments : For HSPs partially or completely derived from translated sequences
: (TBLASTN, BLASTX, TBLASTX, or similar), some positional data
: cannot easily be attributed to a single position (i.e. the
: positional data is ambiguous). In these cases all three codon
: positions are reported when using seq_inds(). Under these
: conditions you can check ambiguous_seq_inds() to determine whether
