+
+   **What it does**
+
+The tool predicts deletions from paired-end data in a two-step process:
+
+1) It finds regions of low-coverage, i.e., candidate regions for deletions, by scanning a BCF file produced by the *Variant Calling* tool.
+
+   The *maximal coverage allowed inside a low-coverage region* and the *minimal deletion size* parameters are used at this step to define what is considered a low-coverage region.
+
+   .. class:: warningmark
+
+      The tool treats genome positions missing from the BCF input as zero coverage, so it is safe to use ONLY with BCF files produced by the *Variant Calling* tool or through other commands that keep the information for all sites.
+
+2) It assesses every low-coverage region statistically for evidence of it being a real deletion. **This step requires paired-end data** since it relies on shifts in the distribution of read pair insert sizes around real deletions.
+
+By default, the tool only reports Deletions, i.e., the subset of low-coverage regions that pass the statistical test.
+If *include low-coverage regions* is selected, regions that failed the test will also be reported.
+
+With *group reads based on read group id only* selected, as it is by default, grouping of reads into samples is done strictly based on their read group IDs.
+With the option deselected, grouping is done based on sample names in the first step of the analysis, i.e. the reads of all samples with a shared sample name are used to identify low-coverage regions.
+In the second step, however, reads will be regrouped by their read group IDs again, i.e. the statistical assessment for real deletions is always done on a per read group basis.
+
+**TIP:**
+Deselecting *group reads based on read group id only* can be useful, for example, if you have both paired-end and single-end sequencing data for the same sample.
+
+In this case, the two sets of reads will usually share a common sample name, but differ in their read groups.
+With grouping based on sample names, the single-end data can be used together with the paired-end data to identify low-coverage regions, thus increasing overall coverage and reliability of this step.
+Still, the assessment of deletions will use only the paired-end data (auto-detecting that the single-end reads do not provide insert size information).
