oops. The last line is correct; but the previous line is
wrong/misleading. The .r1 or .s1 indicates the direction of the read.
the 5' or 3' near the end of the line is followed by "similarity to
..." and indicates which strand a significant BLAST hit was seen on,
not which direction the sequencing was done in.
