+elements) from RNA-seq data through different methods, including ERVmap,
+TEtranscripts and Telescope.  A common interface is provided to use each of
+these methods, which consists of building a parameter object, calling the
+quantification function with this object and getting a
+@code{SummarizedExperiment} object as an output container of the quantified
+expression profiles.  The implementation allows quantifing TEs and gene
+transcripts in an integrated manner.")
