BED File

Category: Data Files

What is a BED file?

Developed by UCSC, it stores a tab-delimited text file in the BED format. It is used in human and animal bioinformatics research and stores genomic regions as coordinates and annotation track data associated with it. These files allow users to manipulate coordinates instead of nucleotide sequences, allowing for better optimization and power generation.
