Description-en: suite of utilities for comparing genomic features
The BEDTools utilities allow one to address common genomics tasks such as
finding feature overlaps and computing coverage. The utilities are largely
based on four widely-used file formats: BED, GFF/GTF, VCF, and SAM/BAM. Using
BEDTools, one can develop sophisticated pipelines that answer complicated
research questions by streaming several BEDTools together.
.
The groupBy utility is distributed in the filo package.
