libraries for using data in the INSDC Sequence Read Archives

 The (US) National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)'s
 Virtual/Vertical Database (VDB) is a highly compressed column-oriented
 data warehousing technology developed initially to address the needs
 of the Sequence Read Archive (SRA). It is unique in that it builds
 databases from smaller parts that can function independently as
 _documents_, supports effective and efficient compression, supports
 encryption while remaining encrypted on disk, transparent distribution
 and remote access.
 .
 This package contains a runtime library for reading VDB data.
