IGV display of coverage

[john_mu]

Hi All,

I'm wonder what is the best format for IGV to accept coverage data (originally in BEDgraph format)?

Currently when I try to read a large BEDgraph file it fails because my laptop does not have enough memory. Is there some intermediate binary indexed file I can convert it to?

As an example, something like what cisGenome Browser does with ".bar" files.

I'm interested to test IGV as it looks interesting.

You can download igvtools and create .tdf files from wig/bedgraph. TDF is the fastest, most efficient way to read coverage on IGV

Thanks! That's what I was looking for. I was sure there was an appropriate file-format.
