+TopHat is a fast splice junction mapper for RNA-Seq reads. It aligns
+RNA-Seq reads to mammalian-sized genomes using the ultra high-throughput
+short read aligner Bowtie, and then analyzes the mapping results to
+identify splice junctions between exons.
+
+TopHat is a collaborative effort between the Institute of Genetic
+Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, the Departments of Mathematics
+and Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California,
+Berkeley and the Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology at
+Harvard University.
