"""
Classes to support nib files.

:Author: James Taylor (james@bx.psu.edu), Bob Harris (rsharris@bx.psu.edu)

A nib sequence is a sequence of DNA, using the 10 character alphabet A,C,G,T,N
(upper and lower case).  The file is packed as 4 bits per character.

nib file format
---------------

Fields can be in big- or little-endian format;  they must match the endianess
of the magic number.

============ =========== ======================================================
offset 0x00: 6B E9 3D 3A big endian magic number (3A 3D E9 6B => little endian)
offset 0x04: xx xx xx xx length of data sequence (counted in characters)
offset 0x08:  ...        data sequence;  most significant nybble in each
                         byte is first in sequence
