+     "This package provides a package for summary and annotation of genomic
+intervals.  Users can visualize and quantify genomic intervals over
+pre-defined functional regions, such as promoters, exons, introns, etc.  The
+genomic intervals represent regions with a defined chromosome position, which
+may be associated with a score, such as aligned reads from HT-seq experiments,
+TF binding sites, methylation scores, etc.  The package can use any tabular
+genomic feature data as long as it has minimal information on the locations of
+genomic intervals.  In addition, it can use BAM or BigWig files as input.")
