 ## What is refgenie?
 
-Refgenie is full-service reference genome manager that organizes storage, access, and transfer of reference genomes. It provides command-line and python interfaces to download pre-built reference genome "assets" like indexes used by bioinformatics tools. It can also build assets for custom genome assemblies. 
+Refgenie is full-service reference genome manager that organizes storage, access, and transfer of reference genomes. It provides command-line and python interfaces to download pre-built reference genome "assets" like indexes used by bioinformatics tools. It can also build assets for custom genome assemblies. Refgenie provides programmatic access to a standard genome folder structure, so software can swap from one genome to another.
 
 ## What makes refgenie better?
 
-Refgenie provides programmatic access to a standard genome folder structure, so that software can easily swap from one genome to another. Refgenie's advantages are:
+1. **It provides a command-line interface to download individual resources**. Think of it as `GitHub` for reference genomes. You just type `refgenie pull -g hg38 -a bwa_index`.
 
-1. **It provides a command-line interface to download individual resources**. Think of it as `GitHub` for reference genomes. You just type `refgenie pull -g hg38 -a kallisto_index`.
+2. **It's scripted**. In case you need resources *not* on the server, such as for a custom genome, you can `build` your own: `refgenie build -g custom_genome -a bowtie2_index`.
 
-2. **It's scripted**. In case you need resources *not* on the server, such as for a custom genome, refgenie provides a `build` function to create your own: `refgenie build -g custom_genome -a bowtie2_index`.
+3. **It simplifies finding local asset locations**. When you need a path to an asset, you can `seek` it, making your pipelines portable across computing environments: `refgenie seek -g hg38 -a salmon_index`.
 
-3. **It includes a python API**. For tool developers, you use `cfg = refgenie.RefGenConf("genomes.yaml")` to get a python object with paths to any genome asset, *e.g.*, `cfg.hg38.kallisto_index`.
+4. **It includes a python API**. For tool developers, you use `cfg = refgenie.RefGenConf("genomes.yaml")` to get a python object with paths to any genome asset, *e.g.*, `cfg.get_asset("hg38", "kallisto_index")`.
 
-4. **It maintains a repository of local asset locations**. Refgenie maintains a local configuration file with the metadata for each resource that's been downloaded or built.

 Once you've populated your refgenie with a few assets, it's easy to get paths to them:
 
 ```console
 refgenie seek --genome mm10 --asset bowtie2_index
 ```
 
-This will return the path to the particular asset of interest, regardless of your computing environment. This gives you an ultra-portable asset manager!
