 **What it does**
 
-Genomes are split into bins of given length. For each bin the number of reads
-found for each of the bam files is counted. A correlation is computed for all
-pairs of bam files.
+This tool is useful to assess the overall similarity of different BAM files. A typical application
+is to check the correlation between replicates or published data sets.
