+regions from ChIP-chip experiments.  The common goal in analyzing this
+ChIP-chip data is to detect DNA-protein interactions from ChIP-chip
+experiments.  The BAC package has mainly been tested with Affymetrix tiling
+array data.  However, we expect it to work with other platforms (e.g. Agilent,
+Nimblegen, cDNA, etc.).  Note that BAC does not deal with normalization, so
+you will have to normalize your data beforehand.")
