+differential analyses of genome-scale datasets.  Functions can combine
+p-values across different tests in the same analysis (e.g., genomic windows in
+ChIP-seq, exons in RNA-seq) or for corresponding tests across separate
+analyses (e.g., replicated comparisons, effect of different treatment
+conditions).  Support is provided for handling log-transformed input p-values,
+missing values and weighting where appropriate.")
