 This tool generates flux samples starting from a model in JSON or XML format by using CBS (Corner-based sampling) and OPTGP (mproved Artificial Centering Hit-and-Run sampler) sampling algorithms.
+It can return sampled fluxes by appliying summary statistics: 
+    - mean
+    - median
+    - quantiles (0.25, 0.50, 0.75). 
+Moreover, flux analysis can be perfomed over the metabolic model:
+    - parsimoniuos-FBA (optimized by Biomass)
+    - FVA
+    - Biomass sensitivity analysis (single reaction knock-out). It the ratio between the optimal FBA coefficients of the Biomass reaction after knocking-out a reaction and the same over the complete model.
 
 Accepted files:
     - A model: JSON or XML file reporting reactions and rules contained in the model. It can be a single model, multiple models or a collection of models. 
+    - Cell-specific bounds: generated by RAS to Bounds tool.
 
 Output:
 -------------
 
 The tool generates:
-    - Samples: reporting the sampled fluxes for each reaction. Format: csv or pickle.
+    - Samples: reporting the sampled fluxes for each reaction. Format: csv.
     - a log file (.txt).
 
 **TIP**: The Batches parameter is useful to mantain in memory just a batch of samples at time. For example, if you wish to sample 10.000 points, than it is suggested to select n_samples = 1.000 and n_batches=10.
