 # VcfFilter
 
 ## Introduction
+This tool filters VCF files on a number values. For example, it can filter on sample depth and/or total depth.
+It can also filter out the reference calls and/or minimum number of sample passes.
+For more on filtering options and how to set them, please refer to the help menu.

 This tool enables a user to filter VCF files. For example on sample depth and/or total depth.
 It can also be used to filter out the reference calls and/or minimum number of sample passes.
 There is a wide set of options which one can use to change the filter settings.
