 INTRODUCTION
 
-Artemis is a DNA sequence viewer and annotation tool that allows visualisation
-of sequence features and the results of analyses within the context of the
-sequence, and its six-frame translation.  Artemis is written in Java, reads
-EMBL or GENBANK format sequences and feature tables, and can work on sequences
-of any size.
+Artemis is a free genome browser and annotation tool that allows visualisation 
+of sequence features, next generation data and the results of analyses within 
+the context of the sequence, and also its six-frame translation.  Artemis is written 
+in Java, and is available for UNIX, Macintosh and Windows systems. It can read 
+EMBL and GENBANK database entries or sequence in FASTA, indexed FASTA or raw format. 
+Other sequence features can be in EMBL, GENBANK or GFF format.
 
-ACT is a DNA sequence comparison viewer based on Artemis. The name ACT stands
-for Artemis Comparison Tool. ACT is written in Java, reads EMBL or GENBANK 
-format sequences and feature tables, and can work on sequences of any size.
+ACT is a free tool for displaying pairwise comparisons between two or more DNA 
+sequences. It can be used to identify and analyse regions of similarity and 
+difference between genomes and to explore conservation of synteny, in the context 
+of the entire sequences and their annotation.
