+Galaxy wrapper for GATK2
+========================
+
+This wrapper is copyright 2013 by Björn Grüning, Jim Johnson & the Galaxy Team.
+
+The Genome Analysis Toolkit or GATK is a software package developed at the 
+Broad Institute to analyse next-generation resequencing data. The toolkit offers
+a wide variety of tools, with a primary focus on variant discovery and 
+genotyping as well as strong emphasis on data quality assurance. Its robust 
+architecture, powerful processing engine and high-performance computing features
+make it capable of taking on projects of any size.

+http://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/about/citing-gatk
+
+
+GATK is Free for academics, and fee for commercial use. Please study the GATK licensing website:
+http://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/about/#licensing
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+The recommended installation is by means of the toolshed_.
+
+.. _toolshed: http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/bjoern-gruening/augustus
+
+Galaxy should be able to automatically install samtools dependencies automatically
+for you. GATK2, and its new licence model, does not allow us to distribute the GATK binaries.
+As a consequence you need to install GATK2 by your own, please see the GATK website for more informations:
+
+http://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/download
+
+Once you have installed GATK2 you need to edit the env.sh file that is installed with these wrappers.
+You will find this env.sh file under:
+
+<tool_dependency_dir>/gatk2/<version>/iuc/<hash_string>/env.sh
+
+You should edit the GATK2_PATH environment variable to point to the folder you have installed GATK2
+and if you want to deactivate the 'call home feature' from GATK you can set
+
+GATK2_SITE_OPTIONS='-et "NO_ET" -K "/data/gatk2_key_file"'
+
+GATK2_SITE_OPTIONS can be used to insert specific options into every GATK2 wrapper 
+during runtime, without changing the actuall wrapper.
+
+Read more about the "Phone Home" problem under:
+http://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/guide/article?id=1250
+
+
+Finally, you should fill in additional information about your genomes and 
+annotations in the gatk2_picard_index.loc and gatk2_annotations.txt. 
+You can find them under ./tool-data/.
