+     "RcisTarget identifies @dfn{transcription factor binding motifs} (TFBS)
+over-represented on a gene list.  In a first step, RcisTarget selects DNA
+motifs that are significantly over-represented in the surroundings of the
+@dfn{transcription start site} (TSS) of the genes in the gene-set.  This is
+achieved by using a database that contains genome-wide cross-species rankings
+for each motif.  The motifs that are then annotated to TFs and those that have
+a high @dfn{Normalized Enrichment Score} (NES) are retained.  Finally, for
+each motif and gene-set, RcisTarget predicts the candidate target genes (i.e.
+genes in the gene-set that are ranked above the leading edge).")
