Title: Optimized Functional Annotation Of ChIP-seq Data
Description: geneXtendeR optimizes the functional annotation of
        ChIP-seq peaks by exploring relative differences in annotating
        ChIP-seq peak sets to variable-length gene bodies.  In contrast
        to prior techniques, geneXtendeR considers peak annotations
        beyond just the closest gene, allowing users to see peak
        summary statistics for the first-closest gene, second-closest
        gene, ..., n-closest gene whilst ranking the output according
        to biologically relevant events and iteratively comparing the
        fidelity of peak-to-gene overlap across a user-defined range of
        upstream and downstream extensions on the original boundaries
        of each gene's coordinates.  Since different ChIP-seq peak
        callers produce different differentially enriched peaks with a
        large variance in peak length distribution and total peak
        count, annotating peak lists with their nearest genes can often
        be a noisy process.  As such, the goal of geneXtendeR is to
        robustly link differentially enriched peaks with their
        respective genes, thereby aiding experimental follow-up and
        validation in designing primers for a set of prospective gene
        candidates during qPCR.
