VariableStep chrom= chrN chromStartA dataValueA chromStartB dataValueB. After the wiggle track definition line, variableStep begins with aĭeclaration line and is followed by two columns containing chromosome positions and data values: This format is used for data with irregular intervals between new data points, and is the moreĬommonly used wiggle format. These formats were developed to allow the file to be written asĬompactly as possible. There are two options for formatting wiggle data: variableStepĪnd fixedStep. Wiggle format is composed of declaration lines and data lines, and require a separate wiggle trackĭefinition line. For conversion to bigWig, the most common use case, Type=wiggle_0), which designates the track as a wiggle track and adds a number of optionsįor controlling the default display. For wiggle custom tracks, the first line must be a Recommend always converting wiggle files to the bigWig storage formatĪnd reference these from your custom tracks or track hubs via their URL. However, the size of all custom tracks is limited. For custom tracks, use the bedGraphįormat if it is important to retain exact data whenĮxporting. ( i.e., with output format "data points" or "bed format" within the Loss of precision when data is exported from a wiggle track This compression means that there is a minor
Unlike bigWig binar files, wiggle ASCII text files can be uploaded as custom tracks onto our server.Īfter the upload, wiggle data is compressed and stored Your own webserver and they are referenced in custom tracks or track hubs via their URL.
On your own computer to the binary bigWig storage format.
Where they are compressed and stored for some time. Text files in wiggle format can be uploaded as custom tracks as-is to UCSC You should have a look at bigBed files with the "lollipop" type (contact us for more info).įor a list of all possible formats for graphing, see the following Want to show on mouseover or when the user clicks the feature (like GWAS data), If you have other data to show in addition to the quantitative data, e.g. bedGraph can also be converted to compressed/indexed binary bigWig files. Sparse data or data that contains elements of The bedGraph format is a very similar format for Both are text files that are easy to create, but need to be converted for actual use by the Wiggle files and its bedgraph variant allow you to plot quantitative data as either shades ofĬolor (dense mode) or bars of varying height (full and pack mode) on the
