        This is a python script to encode/decode arbitrary computer files into
        DNA sequences. It is a straight implementation of a method published in
        `this`_ Nature’s paper. The details of the method can be found in the
        `Supplementary Information`_ report. The source code organization
        follows the article steps and nomenclature, so it should be easy to
        understand.
        
        How to use
        ----------
        
        Install it using pip:
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ pip install file2dna
        
        The installed script will be called :code:`dna` and accepts four types of operations passed as arguments together
        with the file name:
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ dna -h
            usage: dna [-h] [-e | -s | -d | -j] file
        
            positional arguments:
              file        File to be encoded/decoded.
        
            optional arguments:
              -h, --help  show this help message and exit
              -e          encode file and save it as .dna
              -s          encode file and save it as .splitted.zip
              -d          decode .dna file and save as .decoded
              -j          decoded .splitted.zip file and save it as .decoded
        
        As a example, we can decode one the `files`_ encoded by the authors of
        the paper. Suppose you have cloned this repo with its examples folder:
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ dna -d examples/DNA_versions/wssnt10.txt.dna
        
        To see the decoded file:
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ cat examples/DNA_versions/wssnt10.txt.decoded
