The bedtools utilities are a suite of tools for performing a wide range of
|
||
|
|
genomics analysis tasks. The most widely-used of these tools enable genome
|
||
|
|
arithmetic, i.e., set theory on the genome. For example, with bedtools one
|
||
|
|
can intersect, merge, count, complement, and shuffle genomic intervals from
|
||
|
|
multiple files in common genomic formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, and VCF.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Although each individual utility is designed to do a relatively simple task,
|
||
|
|
e.g., intersect two interval files, more sophisticated analyses can be
|
||
|
|
conducted by stringing together multiple bedtools operations on the command
|
||
|
|
line or in shell scripts.
