Bio::Graphics::Browser2::DataLoader::archive - data loader for archives of
BigWig files
A data loader to work with archives of BigWig files to generate a BigWigSet
database. Two or more BigWig files may be combined into an archive file and
uploaded. The files are extracted, a metadata index generated if required, and
a configuration written using subtracks for each BigWig file. This allows a
fast, convenient option to bundle multiple data files together and provide a
concise, organized interface to multiple data tracks.
Supported archives include TAR (.tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .tbz2, .tar.bz2) and ZIP
(.zip) files. Archives should include only BigWig files (which must have a .bw
extension) and optionally a metadata text file. Extraneous files and directory
paths are ignored.
Subtrack tables are set up using the display_name tag value.
See the documentation for Bio::DB::BigWigSet for more information.
The Bio-BigFile (Bio::DB::BigWigSet) Perl module must be installed.
Archives are processed through external tar and unzip utilities. These are
located by searching the default environment PATH.
