 **What it does**
 
-The heatmapper visualizes scores associated with genomic regions, for example ChIP enrichment values around the TSS of genes. 
-Those values can be visualized individually along each of the regions provided by the user in INTERVAL or BED format. 
-In addition to the heatmap, an average profile plot is plotted on top of the heatmap (can be turned off by the user; 
-it can also be generated separately by the tool profiler). 
-We implemented vast optional parameters and we encourage you to play around with the min/max values displayed in the heatmap as well as 
-with the different coloring options. If you would like to plot heatmaps for different groups of genomic regions individually, 
-e.g. one plot per chromosome, simply supply each group as an individual BED file.
+The heatmapper visualizes scores associated with genomic regions, for example ChIP enrichment values around the TSS of genes.
+Like profiler, it requires that computeMatrix was run first to calculate the values.

+We implemented vast optional parameters to optimize the visual output and we encourage you to play around with the min/max values displayed in the heatmap as well as 
+with the different coloring options. The most powerful option is the k-means clustering where you simply need to indicate the number of 
+groups with similar read distributions that you expect and the algorithm will do the sorting for you.
