+
+Basic information on how to use this tool:
+- executable: usher
+- help: --help
+- version: NA
+- description: |
+> UShER is a program for rapid, accurate placement of samples to existing phylogenies.
+

+
+Also contains (same version):
+- matUtils
+- matOptimize
+- ripples
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```bash
+# create mutation annotated tree object
+usher --tree global_phylo.nh --vcf global_samples.vcf --collapse-tree --save-mutation-annotated-tree global_phylo.pb
+
+# place samples onto tree
+usher --vcf new_samples.vcf --load-mutation-annotated-tree global_phylo.pb --write-uncondensed-final-tree
+```
