The first three columns are the only required columns. Column 1 is the chromosome, column 2 is the start of the range (0 indexed), column 3 is the end of the range (1 indexed).

  • Peak Calling

    Peak calling transforms the mapping data into signal data and identifies the peaks in the signal as a region on the genome. These peaks are usually stored in a Bed File.
