Biopiece: split_bed

Description

split_bed splits big BED entries into series of smaller ones, which may be practical for intersections to obtain higher resolution. The starting position of each window (0-based) is added to each Q_ID.

The original BED entry is not output.

Usage

... | split_bed [options]

Options

[-?        | --help]                #  Print full usage description.
[-w <uint> | --window_size=<uint>]  #  Window size                  -  Default=20
[-s <uint> | --step_size=<uint>]    #  Step size                    -  Default=1
[-I <file> | --stream_in=<file!>]   #  Read input from stream file  -  Default=STDIN
[-O <file> | --stream_out=<file>]   #  Write output to stream file  -  Default=STDOUT
[-v        | --verbose]             #  Verbose output.

Examples

Consider the following BED entry in the file test.bed

chr1    10      100     name    12

To split the BED entry into a windows size of 30 and step size 10 first read the entry using read_bed, and write the resulting BED entries using write_bed:

read_bed -i test.bed | split_bed -w 30 -s 10 | write_bed -x

chr1    10      41      name_0  12
chr1    20      51      name_10 12
chr1    30      61      name_20 12
chr1    40      71      name_30 12
chr1    50      81      name_40 12
chr1    60      91      name_50 12
chr1    10      100     name    12
