+S-MART
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+Several tools are now available for mapping high-throughput sequencing data from a genome, but few can extract biological knowledge from the mapped reads. We have developed a toolbox, S-MART, which handles mapped RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq data.
+
+S-MART is an intuitive and lightweight tool, performing several tasks that are usually required during the analysis of mapped RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq reads, including data selection and data visualization.
+
+S-MART does not require a computer science background and thus can be used by all biologists through a graphical interface. S-MART can run on any personal computer, yielding results within an hour for most queries. 
+
+
+Instructions
+------------
+Environment Installation :
+1). Put the downloaded S-MART directories into your Galaxy tools directory.
+2). Open .bashrc (if it dosen't exist, create one).
+Write or add the S-MART directory path to PYTHONPATH :
+export PYTHONPATH=S-MART_PATH:/usr/lib/python2.7/
+(ex. export PYTHONPATH=/home/user/galaxy-dist/tools/s_mart/)
+3). Run .bashrc using . .bashrc command.
