#' atena: analysis of transposable elements in R and Bioconductor
#' 
#' The atena package provides a complete re-implementation in R of three
#' existing methods for the quantification of transposable element (TE)
#' expression in order to facilitate its integration into Bioconductor
#' workflows for the analysis of RNA-seq data. The three methods are
#' TEtranscripts
#' (\href{https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btv422}{Jin et al. (2015)}),
#' ERVmap
#' (\href{https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1814589115}{Tokuyama et al. (2018)})
#' and Telescope
#' (\href{https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006453}{Bendall et al.(2019)}).
#' 
#' 
#' The main functions are:
#'
#' \itemize{
#' \item \code{\link{TEtranscriptsParam}} - build parameter objects of the class \code{TEtranscriptsParam-class} for the TEtranscripts expression quantification method
#' \item \code{\link{ERVmapParam}} - build parameter objects of the class \code{ERVmapParam-class} for the ERVmap expression quantification method
#' \item \code{\link{TelescopeParam}} - build parameter objects of the class \code{TelescopeParam-class} for the Telescope expression quantification method
#' \item \code{\link{qtex}} - call the TE expression quantification method using a previously built parameter object
#' }
#'

#' \code{vignette("atena")}.
