  Description     : Rapid denoising of pyrosequencing amplicon data

 To denoise pyrosequencing amplicon data, the package exploits the
 rank-abundance distribution.  PyroNoise uses an expectation maximization
 (EM) algorithm to figure out the most likely sequence for every read. We,
 instead, use a greedy scheme that can be seen as an approximation to
 PyroNoise. According to several test data sets, the approximation gives
 very similar results in a fraction of the time.
