 1. `aligner`: which aligner to use (`bwa` or `bowtie`)
 2. `macs2`: Here only the callpeak modus is implemented. But one can set all the options from [macs2 callpeak](https://github.com/taoliu/MACS/#call-peaks) in this settings config. Note that the config value is: `macs2_callpeak`
 
+## Configuration for detection of broad peaks (ATAC-seq)
+
+Carp can do broad peak-calling by using the following config: 
+
+``` json
+  "bowtie2": {
+    "maxins": 2000,
+    "m": 1
+  },
+

+    "extsize": 200,
+    "shift": 100,

+These settings are optimized to call peaks on samples prepared using the ATAC protocol.
