jentre: Toolkit for the 'Entrez' API

Interact with the 'Entrez' API hosted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25499/>. This package is focused on working with sequence metadata and links. It handles pagination and compensates for some API limitations to simplify these tasks. API calls are printed to the console to highlight how high-level queries are translated into individual HTTP requests.
