-**What it does**
+What it does
+-------------
+
+This tool is useful to **assess the sequencing depth** of a given sample.
+It samples 1 million bp, counts the number of overlapping reads and reports
+a coverage histogram that tells you how many bases are covered how many times.
+
+**Note:** Multiple BAM files are accepted but all should correspond to the same genome assembly.
+
+Output
+---------
 
-This tools samples 1 million positions in the genome to build
-a coverage histogram. Multiple bam files are accepted but all should
-correspond to the same genome assembly.
+The default output is a **panel of two plots** (see below for an example): One is a density plot visualizing the frequencies of read coverages, the other one lets you estimate what fraction of the genome has a depth of sequencing of, for example, 2 overlapping reads or more.
+
+The optional output is a table where each row represents the number of reads overlapping with a sampled bp.
