Compress/index input with bgzip+tabix
From PileLine
GP files (both intervals and single position files) can be compressed+indexed with tabix. PileLine now supports this format as input for its commands.
NOTE: PileLine will recognize a input file as compressed if they have the .bgz extension.
Compressing GP files with tabix
- Download tabix software from: http://samtools.sourceforge.net/tabix.shtml
- Compress a file (for example a .bed)
cat myfile.bed | bgzip > myfile.bed.bgz tabix -p bed myfile.bed.bgz #tabix has now created the myfile.bed.bgz.tbi, which is the index.
