+**What it does**
+
+Creates a coverage file in BigWig format, given a BAM alignment file.
+
+Gaps or skips (CIGAR D or N operators) are not counted towards the coverage
+calculation, which is important when mapping RNA Seq reads to genes with
+introns.
+
+**Input**
+
+A BAM alignment file. This needs to have the genome database build used in
+alignment annotated. If your file has '?' for the database build, click on the
+pencil icon to edit the alignment attributes, and specify the organism used to
+align against.
+
+**Output**
+
+BigWig files can be loaded directly from Galaxy into the UCSC browser. They can
+be loaded incrementally by UCSC, so a single file can be used to represent the
+entire genome without having to upload the entire thing as a custom track.
