+     "The FASTX-Toolkit is a collection of command line tools for Short-Reads
+FASTA/FASTQ files preprocessing.
+
+Next-Generation sequencing machines usually produce FASTA or FASTQ files,
+containing multiple short-reads sequences.  The main processing of such
+FASTA/FASTQ files is mapping the sequences to reference genomes.  However, it
+is sometimes more productive to preprocess the files before mapping the
+sequences to the genome---manipulating the sequences to produce better mapping
+results.  The FASTX-Toolkit tools perform some of these preprocessing tasks.")
