files, including with our API.
The .nib format pre-dates the .2bit format and is less compact. It describes a DNA sequence by packing two bases into each byte. Each .nib file contains only a single sequence. The file begins with a 32-bit signature that is 0x6BE93D3A in the architecture of the machine that created the file (or possibly a byte-swapped version of the same number on another machine). This is followed by a 32-bit number in the same format that describes the number of bases in the file. Next, the bases themselves are listed, packed two bases to the byte. The first base is packed in the high-order 4
