  Contains a tool that employs the IDEAS (Integrative and Discriminative Epigenome Annotation System) method for jointly and
  quantitatively characterizing multivariate epigenetic landscapes in many cell types, tissues or conditions. The method
  accounts for position dependent epigenetic events and detects local cell type relationships, which not only help to improve
  the accuracy of annotating functional classes of DNA sequences, but also reveal cell type constitutive and specific loci.
  The method utilizes Bayesian non-parametric techniques to automatically identify the best model size fitting to the data so
  users do not have to specify the number of states. On the other hand, users can still specify the number of states if desired.
