+%description
+
+The BEDTools utilities allow one to address common genomics tasks such
+as finding feature overlaps and computing coverage. The utilities are
+largely based on four widely-used file formats: BED, GFF/GTF, VCF, and
+SAM/BAM. Using BEDTools, one can develop sophisticated pipelines that
+answer complicated research questions by "streaming" several BEDTools
+together.
