GBiB allows you to access much of the UCSC Genome Browser's functionality from the comfort of your own computer. https://divingintogeneticsandgenomics.com/archive/hosting-bigwig-by-dropbox-for-ucsc-visualization/ Tue, 18 Feb 2014 12:53:00 -0800 https://divingintogeneticsandgenomics.com/archive/hosting-bigwig-by-dropbox-for-ucsc-visualization/ First, you need to get an idea of what is a bigwig file: https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bigWig.html It is the binary form of wig file and allows UCSC genome browser to fetch only the data in the current window. I usually get wig file by MACS1.4 peak calling ChIP-seq data. MACS2 now does not have the -w option any more. https://github.com/taoliu/MACS/ see a discussion in the google group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/macs-announcement/bedgraph$20ucsc$20track/macs-announcement/LBhAtmC-Zho/uZuxU8ZaqdEJ MACS2 only creates a bedgraph file http://genome.
