additionally, could anyone explain the part in brackets, in line 410?

"click the Show sections button (available on Galaxy servers)"

I cannot. that looks like it could be removed.

Ok, I removed the bracket, assuming noone will miss it...

Of the tools in the **Operate on Genomic Intervals** toolbox, **Join** and particularly **Intersect** have the most promise. Let's try **Intersect**.
Although there are the bedtools (section **BED**) and a section **Operate on Genomic Intervals** offering promising tools, the simple **Intersect** tool under **Text Manipulation** appears sufficient. Let's try **Intersect**.
