Good Morning Josh: If you were successful in converting your bedGraph file to bigWig, you are almost there. You only missed the bit about how to use the bigWig file you created. Take a look at the documentation in the source tree file: src/hg/makeDb/trackDb/README and the section about how to use a bigWig file in your local genome browser (item # 18)
I'm curious, are you working on a 32-bit computer ? You will definately have problems working with large files if you are on a 32-bit computer. --Hiram Thiry, Joshua T wrote: > Hi all, > > I had a bedGraph file that I was trying to load to our mirror site/database, > but when I used it with the hgLoadBed function, my computer could not handle > it.
