[GenABEL-dev] bed format

[Tagir F. Valeev]

Hello!

YSA> ok, let us do the following:

YSA> * Fedor or Tagir, please send me a good link to the description of  
YSA> 'bed' format -- I will file in feature request myself

The only 'official' description I've seen is here:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format1
Actually it's loosely defined. It's tab separated file describing one
feature per row where first three fields are chromosome (chr1, chrX,
etc.); feature start and feature end coordinates. Subsequent fields
are actually used for any custom annotation, though geneXplain tries
to use information from them according to this document (for example
it reads strand from field#6).

YSA> * 'iterator' problem description I will send in later -- this is  
YSA> something which should not take too much time to look at, and I will  
YSA> appreciate if we all (especially Stepan) have a look and comment  
YSA> within 1-3 days from the point it's been sent and move it to a stage  
YSA> to be posted to R-dev for suggestions.

YSA> best wishes,
YSA> Yurii
