Collectively, the bedtools utilities are a swiss-army knife of tools
|
||
|
|
for a wide-range of genomics analysis tasks. The most widely-used
|
||
|
|
tools enable genome arithmetic: that is, set theory on the genome. For
|
||
|
|
example, bedtools allows one to intersect, merge, count, complement,
|
||
|
|
and shuffle genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used
|
||
|
|
genomic file formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While each individual tool is designed to do a relatively simple task
|
||
|
|
(e.g., intersect two interval files), quite sophisticated analyses can
|
||
|
|
be conducted by combining multiple bedtools operations on the UNIX
|
||
|
|
command line.
