 SEGUID checksums for linear, circular, single- and double-stranded sequences
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
+This package provides four functions, ``lsseguid()``, ``csseguid()``, ``ldseguid()``, and ``cdseguid()`` (Table 1), for calculating SEGUID v2 checksums, and one function, ``seguid()``, for calculating SEGUID v1 checksums.  SEGUID v2 is described in Pereira et al. (2024), and SEGUID v1 in Babnigg & Giometti (2006).

-Four SEGUID v2 checksum functions for biological sequences with linear or circular
-topology and a single or two complementary strands.
-
-A detailed description of the algorithms can be found in Pereira et al. (2024).
-Implementations of these functions in other programming languages cand be found
-at `seguid.org <https://www.seguid.org/>`_.
-
-The function ``seguid()`` that calculates checksum according to the original SEGUID v1 specification (Babnigg & Giometti, 2006)
-is also provided.

 This package works without external dependencies, but ``csseguid()`` and ``cdseguid()``
 can be made faster by installing `pydivsufsort <https://pypi.org/project/pydivsufsort/>`_, provides a faster implementation of the algorithm for finding the
