The ONEcode file format was designed by Gene Myers and Richard Durbin. The
canonical C reference implementation is available at:
https://github.com/thegenemyers/ONEcode
This Rust library is an independent implementation of the ONEcode format
specification, developed with reference to the C library source code.
