bwtool
he software tool 'bwtool' is designed to read bigWig files rapidly and efficiently, extract data, and summarize it in several ways, globally or at specific regions. Additionally, it enables the conversion of signal data positions from one genome assembly to another. bwtool is a useful tool for analysts who work frequently with bigWig data, which is a standard format for representing functional signals along genomes.
