-# Enhort: Genomic Position Profiling
-
-The rise of high-throughput methods in genomic research greatly expanded our 
-knowledge about the functionality of the genome. At the same time, the amount 
-of available genomic position data increased massively, e.g., through genome-wide 
-profiling of protein binding, virus integration or DNA methylation. 
-However, there is no specialized software to investigate integration site profiles 
-of virus integration or transcription factor binding sites by correlating the sites 
-with the diversity of available genomic annotations.
-
-Here we present Enhort, a user-friendly software tool for relating large sets of 
-genomic positions to a variety of annotations. It functions as a statistics based 
-genome browser, not focused on a single locus but analyzing many genomic positions 
-simultaneously. Enhort provides comprehensive yet easy-to-use methods for statistical 
-analysis, visualization, and the adjustment of background models according to 
-experimental conditions and scientific questions.
