-**Help**
-
-This tool will create a visualization of the bed file that is selected.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-- **Shift at 5' end** should be used when the location of interest is at a fixed distance from
- the 5' end for **all sequenced fragments**!
-
- For example if the sequenced sample consists
- mono-nucleosomal DNA (146bp) we should expect that
- each nucleosome midpoint is located at 73 bp from the 5' end of the fragment.
- Therefore we would enter 73 as the shift parameter. Once corrected the reads
- on each strand will coincide and indicate the actual midpoints
- of the nucleosomes.
-
- When shifting the averaging process in GeneTrack is able correct for longer or shorter
- than expected fragment sizes as long as the errors are reasonably random.
-
-See http://genetrack.bx.psu.edu/ for more information on GeneTrack.
