+     "CENTIPEDE applies a hierarchical Bayesian mixture model to infer regions
+of the genome that are bound by particular transcription factors.  It starts
+by identifying a set of candidate binding sites, and then aims to classify the
+sites according to whether each site is bound or not bound by a transcription
+factor.  CENTIPEDE is an unsupervised learning algorithm that discriminates
+between two different types of motif instances using as much relevant
+information as possible.")
