+Collectively, the bedtools utilities are a swiss-army knife of tools
+for a wide-range of genomics analysis tasks. The most widely-used
+tools enable genome arithmetic: that is, set theory on the genome. For
+example, bedtools allows one to intersect, merge, count, complement,
+and shuffle genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used
+genomic file formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF.
+
+While each individual tool is designed to do a relatively simple task
+(e.g., intersect two interval files), quite sophisticated analyses can
+be conducted by combining multiple bedtools operations on the UNIX
+command line.
