+CAP3: A DNA sequence assembly program.
+
+CAP3 if the third generation of the CAP sequence assembly program. The
+program has a capability to clip 5' and 3' low-quality regions of reads.
+It uses base quality values in computation of overlaps between reads,
+construction of multiple sequence alignments of reads, and generation
+of consensus sequences. The program also uses forward-reverse constraints
+to correct assembly errors and link contigs.
+
+This just repackages the binaries provided from upstream.
+
+If you use CAP3 in any published work, please cite:
