-#### a) Generating a Wiggle file
+#### a) Converting transcript BAM file into genome BAM file
+
+Normally, RSEM will do this for you via '--output-genome-bam' option
+of 'rsem-calculate-expression'. However, if you have run
+'rsem-prepare-reference' and use 'reference_name.idx.fa' to build
+indices for your aligner, you can use 'rsem-tbam2gbam' to convert your
+transcript coordinate BAM alignments file into a genomic coordinate
+BAM alignments file without the need to run the whole RSEM
+pipeline. Please note that 'rsem-prepare-reference' will convert all
+'N' into 'G' by default for 'reference_name.idx.fa'. If you do not
+want this to happen, please use '--no-ntog' option.
