bwtool¶

Description¶

bwtool is a command-line utility for bigWig files. bigWigs are an indexed and compressed form of wig file, a somewhat standard format for storing genome-wide real-valued signal data. Much of the ENCODE processed data is in this form, and it is appearing more often in GEO as well. The purpose of bwtool is to make these files more useful by providing some convenient functions.
