**What it does**
-Converts BAM data to ScIdx, the Strand-specific coordinate count format, which is used by
-tools within the Chip-exo Galaxy flavor. The Chip-exo Galaxy flavor is used by the Center for
-Eukaryotic Gene Regulation labs at The Pennsylvania State University. ScIdx files are 1-based.
+Converts BAM data to ScIdx, the Strand-specific coordinate count format, which is used by tools within
+the Chip-exo Galaxy flavor. ScIdx files are 1-based. The format consists of 5 columns: the chromosome,
+the position of the genomic coordinate, the number of tags on the forward strand, the number of tags on
+the reverse strand and the number of total tags on the position. With pair-end reads, only the 5’ end of
+READ1 will be used to create the ScIdx data file. Tools that use this format include GeneTrack and MultiGPS.
