+ (description
+ "Gcrma adjusts for background intensities in Affymetrix array data which
+include optical noise and @dfn{non-specific binding} (NSB). The main function
+@code{gcrma} converts background adjusted probe intensities to expression
+measures using the same normalization and summarization methods as a
+@dfn{Robust Multiarray Average} (RMA). Gcrma uses probe sequence information
+to estimate probe affinity to NSB. The sequence information is summarized in
+a more complex way than the simple GC content. Instead, the base types (A, T,
+G or C) at each position along the probe determine the affinity of each probe.
+The parameters of the position-specific base contributions to the probe
+affinity is estimated in an NSB experiment in which only NSB but no
+gene-specific bidning is expected.")
