+     "BWA-Meth works for single-end reads and for paired-end reads from the
+directional protocol (most common).  It uses the method employed by
+methylcoder and Bismark of in silico conversion of all C's to T's in both
+reference and reads.  It recovers the original read (needed to tabulate
+methylation) by attaching it as a comment which BWA appends as a tag to the
+read.  It performs favorably to existing aligners gauged by number of on and
+off-target reads for a capture method that targets CpG-rich region.")
