.. class:: warningmark

**TIP**. Once your interval appears in history, you must tell Galaxy which genome it belongs to by clicking pencil icon or the "?" link in the history item.

-----

**What it does**

This tool allows you to create a single genomic interval. The resulting history item will be in the BED format.

-----

**Example**

Typing the following values in the form::

    Chromosome: chrX
    Start position: 151087187
    End position: 151370486
    Name: NM_000808
    Strand: minus

will create a single interval::

    chrX  151087187  151370486  NM_000808  0  -
