Chain-class: Chain objects

Description

A Chain object represents a UCSC chain alignment, typically imported from a chain file, and is essentially a list of ChainBlock objects. Each ChainBlock has a corresponding chromosome (its name in the list) and is a run-length encoded alignment, mapping a set of intervals on that chromosome to intervals on the same or other chromosomes.
