_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     The nuID (nucleotide universal identifier) is uniquely
     corresponding to probe sequence. The nuID is also
     self-identification and error checking

_U_s_a_g_e:

     seq2id(seq)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     seq: a nucleotide sequence composed of A, C, G, T (U). 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The nuID is a exact mapping of nucleotide sequence based on Base64
     encoding scheme.  A character set A-Z, a-z, 0-9, "_" and "." is
     used to represent to the base-64 numbers of 0-63. The first
     character of nuID is a checking code, which provide information of
     both the number of  padded "A"s at the nucleotide sequence and
     error checking. Please refer to reference for more details.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A string represents nuID

     schema of oligonucleotides for Illumina, Affymetrix, and other
     microarrays", Biology Direct 2007, 2:16 (31May2007).
