+# Overview
+
+eCLIP is an experimental protocol which measures the in vivo binding sites of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) across the transcriptome by coupling ultraviolet crosslinking, immunoprecipitation, and high-throughput sequencing. In this dataset, the eCLIP tracks have been reprocessed using [Peakhood](https://github.com/BackofenLab/Peakhood) to report the number of RBP-specific binding sites across two cell lines. 
+
+This dataset is redistributed as part of mRNABench: https://github.com/morrislab/mRNABench
+
+# Data Format
+
+Description of data columns:
+- target_{rbp}: Number of binding sites in transcript for specific RBP.
+- cds: binary track which reports position of first nucleotide in each codon in CDS.
+- splice: binary track which reports position of the 3' end of each exon, indicating splice sites.
+
+# Data Source
+This dataset is generated using raw eCLIP data generated by the Yeo lab as part of the ENCODE project: https://www.encodeproject.org/eclip/. (See ENCODE [data use policy](https://www.encodeproject.org/help/citing-encode/))
