+
+usage: qualimap <tool> [options]
+
+To launch GUI leave <tool> empty.
+
+Available tools:
+
+    bamqc            Evaluate NGS mapping to a reference genome
+    rnaseq           Evaluate RNA-seq alignment data
+    counts           Counts data analysis (further RNA-seq data evaluation)
+    multi-bamqc      Compare QC reports from multiple NGS mappings
+    clustering       Cluster epigenomic signals
+    comp-counts      Compute feature counts
+
+Special arguments: 
+
+    --java-mem-size  Use this argument to set Java memory heap size. Example:
