 Sickle supports three types of quality values: Illumina, Solexa, and
 Sanger. Note that the Solexa quality setting is an approximation (the
 actual conversion is a non-linear transformation). The end
 approximation is close. Illumina quality refers to qualities encoded
 with the CASAVA pipeline between versions 1.3 and 1.7.  Illumina
-quality using CASAVA >= 1.8 is Sanger encoded.
+quality using CASAVA >= 1.8 is Sanger encoded. The quality value will
+be determined from the datatype of the data, i.e. a fastqsanger datatype
+is assumed to be Sanger encoded.
 
 Note that Sickle will remove the 2nd fastq record header (on the "+"
 line) and replace it with simply a "+". This is the default format for
 CASAVA >= 1.8.
 
-Sickle also supports gzipped file inputs and optional gzipped outputs. By default,
-Sickle will produce regular (i.e. not gzipped) output, regardless of the input.

+**Options**
+
+**Single-end**
+
+This option takes one single-end input file and outputs one single-end 
+output file of reads that passed the filters.
+
+**Paired-End (one interleaved input file)**
+
+This option takes as input one interleaved paired-end file. If you then
+check the "Output only one file with all reads" checkbox, it will output
+one interleaved file where any read that did not pass filter will be replaced 
+with a FastQ record where the sequence is a single "N" and the quality is the 
+lowest quality possible for that quality type. This will preserve the paired 
+nature of the data. If you leave the checkbox unchecked, it will output two files,
+one interleaved file with all the passed pairs and one singletons file where only 
+one of the pair passed filter.
+
+**Paired-End (two separate input files)**
+
+This option takes two separate (forward and reverse) paired-end files as input. 
+The output is three files: Two paired-end files with pairs that passed filter and
+a singletons file where only one of the pair passed filter.
+
+**Quality threshold**
+
+Input your desired quality threshold. This threshold is phred-scaled, which is typically
+values between 0-41 for FastQ data.
+
+**Length threshold**
+
+Input your desired length threshold. This is the threshold to determine if a read is kept
+after all the trimming steps are done.
+
+**Disable 5-prime trimming**
+
+An option to disable trimming the read on the 5-prime end. This trimming trims the read 
+if the average quality values dip below the quality threshold at the 5-prime end.
+
+**Truncate sequences with Ns**
+
+This option will trim a read at the first "N" base in the read after doing quality trimming. 
+It is then still subject to the length threshold.
