It's the new (2015) way of evaluating gene expression abundance from NGS short reads.

It is considerably faster than other methods (like those based on say, RSEM) in that it omits the conventional alignment step, and instead calculates what it calls compatibility classes for each read, which are transcripts that the read could align with, if a proper alignment had taken place.
