+**What it does**
+  
+Divides input genomic regions into regions of size N bp which overlap each other by N/2 bp.  If genome-wide prediction is desired, a single BED file listing the total length of each chromosome should be provided as input.x
+
+**Parameters**
+  
+Size of Genome Fragments: Size of regions into which genome will be split.
+  
+Size of Overlap: Size of overlap between genomic regions.
+
+BED File of Regions for Prediction: Regions to be split according to above criteria.
+
+----
+  
+**Example**
+  
+Given a BED file, tool will output BED file of regions of length N, which overlap by N/2 bp::
+  
+    chr1	0	1000
+    chr1	500	1500
+    chr1	1000	2000
+    chr1	1500	2500
