+The pyCRAC package is a collection of python2-scripts to analyse high
+throughput data generated by RNA-sequencing, especially of molecules 
+crosslinked by UV to an immunoprecipitated protein of interest (i.e. 
+data generated by CLIP or CRAC protocols). 
+It can be used to remove duplicate reads,tackles directional libraries 
+and reports sense and anti-sense hits.
+
+Included is the pipeline used for the analysis of a group of CRAC data
+sets.
+
+An R-function used for kinetic CRAC analysis can be found in
+/usr/share/pyCRAC/kinetic_crac_pipeline
