  <h1>Welcome</h1>
  
  <p>
    <b>GeneTrack</b> is a web based data management system 
    that allows scientists to: 
    <ul>
        <li>
            Share data across multiple research groups.
        </li>
        <li>
            Automatically generate quality
            control information.
        </li>
        <li>
            Visualize genomic data in various contexts.
        </li>
        <li>
            Generate peak calls and predictions for binding events.
        </li>
