You were probably running the parallel command from moreutils which is
not GNU Parallel.
To get the background on moreutils/GNU Parallel see
http://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/history.html
BTW good to see more bioinformaticians. I believe you will like the
upcoming --pipe option scheduled for next release - it will be able to
take record delimited files (such as fasta files) and pipe a block of
records to parallel processes making it possible to process a single
fasta file in parallel. You just need to make sure your program can
read from a pipe.
