 ## Introduction
-BICF ChIPseq is a bioinformatics best-practice analysis pipeline used for ChIP-seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing) data analysis at [BICF](http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/labs/bioinformatics/) at [UT Southwestern Dept. of Bioinformatics](http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/departments/bioinformatics/).
+BICF ChIPseq is a bioinformatics best-practice analysis pipeline used for ChIP-seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing) data analysis at [BICF](http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/labs/bioinformatics/) at [UT Southwestern Department of Bioinformatics](http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/departments/bioinformatics/).
 
 The pipeline uses [Nextflow](https://www.nextflow.io), a bioinformatics workflow tool. It pre-processes raw data from FastQ inputs, aligns the reads and performs extensive quality-control on the results.
