+particular focus on producing stable, consistent estimates.  It implements a
+full hierarchical Bayesian model of an entire RNA-Seq experiment.  It saves
+all the samples generated by the sampler, which can be processed to compute
+posterior probabilities for arbitrarily complex questions, far beyond the
+confines of pairwise tests.  It aggressively corrects for technical effects,
+such as random priming bias, GC-bias, 3' bias, and fragmentation effects.
+Compared to other MCMC approaches, it is exceedingly efficient, though
+generally slower than modern maximum likelihood approaches.")
