+Overview
+--------
+Differential expression analysis of RNA-seq and digital gene expression profiles with biological replication. Uses empirical Bayes estimation and exact tests based on the negative binomial distribution. Also useful for differential signal analysis with other types of genome-scale count data [1].
 
 For every experiment, the algorithm requires a design matrix. This matrix describes which samples belong to which groups.
-More details on this are given in the edgeR manual:

+More details on this are given in the edgeR manual: http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc/vignettes/edgeR/inst/doc/edgeRUsersGuide.pdf
 and the limma manual.
 
 Because the creation of a design matrix can be complex and time consuming, especially if no GUI is used, this package comes with an alternative tool which can help you with it.

 If you have for example two groups, with an equal weight, you would like to compare either
 "g1~g2" or "normal~cancer".
 
-** Input **
+The test function makes use of a MCF7 dataset used in a study that indicates that a higher sequencing depth is not neccesairily more important than a higher amount of replaciates[2].
