About:
bedtk is a lightweight command-line utility for manipulating BED (Browser Extensible Data) files, commonly used in genomics. It provides essential operations like sorting, merging, and filtering genomic intervals with high efficiency. The tool is designed for bioinformaticians who need fast, simple BED file processing without heavy dependencies.
Key Features:
  • Fast interval manipulation and sorting
  • Merge, sort, and filter BED file operations
  • Lightweight and dependency-free design
  • Streamlined command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • Processing genomic interval data from sequencing experiments
  • Preparing BED files for genome browser visualization
  • Filtering and merging ChIP-seq peak calls
Alternatives:
  • bedtools – More comprehensive suite but heavier and slower for basic operations
  • bedops – Alternative toolkit with similar goals but different command syntax
