+ (description "METAL is a tool for meta-analysis genomewide association
+scans. METAL can combine either test statistics and standard errors or
+p-values across studies (taking sample size and direction of effect into
+account). METAL analysis is a convenient alternative to a direct analysis of
+merged data from multiple studies. It is especially appropriate when data
+from the individual studies cannot be analyzed together because of differences
+in ethnicity, phenotype distribution, gender or constraints in sharing of
+individual level data imposed. Meta-analysis results in little or no loss of
+efficiency compared to analysis of a combined dataset including data from all
+individual studies.")
