+GenomeTools: efficient processing of structured genome annotations
+
+The GenomeTools genome analysis system is a free collection of bio-
+informatics tools (in the realm of genome informatics) for biological
+sequence analysis and presentation combined into a single binary named
+"gt". It is based on a C library named "libgenometools" which consists
+of several modules.
+
+GenomeTools can be used for:
+- sequence and annotation handling
+- sequence compression
+- index structure generation and access
+- annotation visualization
+- ...and much more!
