ENCODE-specific tracks

January 27, 2021 ยท View on GitHub

NGB supports the uploading and reading of the ENCODE-specific formats.

As the ENCODE-specific formats are "BED-compatible" with some additional columns - so the exposing of the ENCODE-specific files to the client is being performed in the same manner as for the BED format.
The only distinct - data values from additional columns that are not present in the original BED format can be viewed only via the features info, these values aren't affected the track displaying.

Supported ENCODE-specific formats in NGB:

FormatFeaturesFile extension to register
ENCODE broadPeak format"Broad Peaks Format". It is a BED6+3 formatbroadPeak, bPk, broadPeak.gz, bPk.gz
ENCODE gappedPeak format"Gapped Peaks Format". It is a BED12+3 formatgappedPeak, gPk, gappedPeak.gz, gPk.gz
ENCODE narrowPeak format"Narrow Peaks Format" (or "Point-Source"). It is a BED6+4 formatnarrowPeak, nPk, narrowPeak.gz, nPk.gz
ENCODE pairedTagAlign format"Tag Alignment Format for Paired Reads". It is a BED6+2 formatpairedTagAlign, pta, pairedTagAlign.gz, pta.gz
