+description = """Varlociraptor is a Flexible, uncertainty-aware variant calling program
+with parameter free filtration via FDR control.
+
+Key Features include:
+- Calls SNVs and indels in all length ranges (from small to structural) with a unified statistical model.
+- The statistical model entails all possible sources of uncertainty.
+- Resulting variant calls can be filtered by false discovery rate. No parameter tuning necessary.
+- Maximum a posteriori allele frequency estimates are provided with each call.
