+This example contains two region datasets "ETn fixed", "Control" and one feature "Recombination hotspots content".
+In particular, the region dataset "ETn fixed" contains 1296 genomic regions of 64 kb surrounding
+fixed ETns elements (32-kb flanking sequences upstream and 32-kb flanking sequences downstream
+of each element). The region dataset "Control" contains 1142 regions of 64 kb without elements,
+used as control in the test. The regions are aligned around their center (i.e. around the ETn integration
+sites).
+Recombination hotspots measurements are associated to each "ETn fixed" and "Control" region. In
+particular, this feature is measured in 1-kb windows, so that each region is associated to a recombination
+hotspots curve made of 64 values. The measurement used is the feature content, i.e. the
+fraction of the 1-kb window that is covered by recombination hotspots
