+The cistrome refers to "the set of cis-acting targets of a trans-
+acting factor on a genome-wide scale, also known as the in vivo
+genome-wide location of transcription factor binding-sites or histone
+modifications". The term cistrome is a portmanteau of cistron + genome
+and was coined by investigators at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
+and Harvard Medical School.

+This is cistrome-extra apps, part of the Cistrome-Applications-Harvard
+project.
