+**What it does**
+
+bedtools merge combines overlapping or "book-ended" features in an interval file into a single feature which spans all of the combined features.
+
+
+.. image:: $PATH_TO_IMAGES/merge-glyph.png
+
+
+.. class:: warningmark
+
+bedtools merge requires that you presort your data by chromosome and then by start position.
+
+
+==========================================================================
+Default behavior
+==========================================================================
+By default, ``bedtools merge`` combines overlapping (by at least 1 bp) and/or
+bookended intervals into a single, "flattened" or "merged" interval.
+
+::
+
+  $ cat A.bed
+  chr1  100  200
+  chr1  180  250
+  chr1  250  500
+  chr1  501  1000
+
+  $ bedtools merge -i A.bed
+  chr1  100  500
+  chr1  501  1000
+
+
+==========================================================================
+*-s* Enforcing "strandedness" 
+==========================================================================
+The ``-s`` option will only merge intervals that are overlapping/bookended
+*and* are on the same strand.
+
+::
+
+  $ cat A.bed
+  chr1  100  200   a1  1 +
+  chr1  180  250   a2  2 +
+  chr1  250  500   a3  3 -
+  chr1  501  1000  a4  4 +
+
+  $ bedtools merge -i A.bed -s
+  chr1  100  250    +
+  chr1  501  1000   +
+  chr1  250  500    -
+
+
+==========================================================================
+*-n* Reporting the number of features that were merged 
+==========================================================================
+The -n option will report the number of features that were combined from the 
+original file in order to make the newly merged feature. If a feature in the 
+original file was not merged with any other features, a "1" is reported.
+
+::
+
+  $ cat A.bed
+  chr1  100  200
+  chr1  180  250
+  chr1  250  500
+  chr1  501  1000
+  
+  $ bedtools merge -i A.bed -n
+  chr1  100  500  3
+  chr1  501  1000 1
+
+
+==========================================================================
+*-d* Controlling how close two features must be in order to merge 
+==========================================================================
+By default, only overlapping or book-ended features are combined into a new 
+feature. However, one can force ``merge`` to combine more distant features 
+with the ``-d`` option. For example, were one to set ``-d`` to 1000, any 
+features that overlap or are within 1000 base pairs of one another will be 
+combined.
+
+::
+
+  $ cat A.bed
+  chr1  100  200
+  chr1  501  1000
+  
+  $ bedtools merge -i A.bed
+  chr1  100  200
+  chr1  501  1000
+
+  $ bedtools merge -i A.bed -d 1000
+  chr1  100  200  1000
+
+
+=============================================================
+*-nms* Reporting the names of the features that were merged
+=============================================================
+Occasionally, one might like to know that names of the features that were 
+merged into a new feature. The ``-nms`` option will add an extra column to the 
+``merge`` output which lists (separated by semicolons) the names of the
+merged features.
+
+::
+
+  $ cat A.bed
+  chr1  100  200  A1
+  chr1  150  300  A2
+  chr1  250  500  A3
+ 
+  $ bedtools merge -i A.bed -nms
+  chr1  100  500  A1,A2,A3
+  
+
+===============================================================
+*-scores* Reporting the scores of the features that were merged
+===============================================================
+Similarly, we might like to know that scores of the features that were 
+merged into a new feature. Enter the ``-scores`` option.  One can specify 
+how the scores from each overlapping interval should be reported.
+
+::
+
+  $ cat A.bed
+  chr1  100  200  A1 1
+  chr1  150  300  A2 2
+  chr1  250  500  A3 3
+ 
+  $ bedtools merge -i A.bed -scores mean
+  chr1  100  500  2
+  
+  $ bedtools merge -i A.bed -scores max
+  chr1  100  500  3
+
+  $ bedtools merge -i A.bed -scores collapse
+  chr1  100  500  1,2,3
