Hello Jingjing,

You can read more about the bedGraph format here:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bedgraph.html

This format only has 4 fields so it will not be possible to include the 
5th column you list below ("experiment1" etc).

One of our developers also had this to say about your questions:

You will also need separate files for + and - strands to get values 
plotted in the same place with two different graphs. You can make
the values in one negative and positive in the other, and thus the two 
graphs can appear next to each other and look somewhat like one graph.

Note that you want to be using bigWig and not GFF3 format. You can read 
more about the bigWig format here:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bigWig.html

You can also read more about the difference between the different 
formats here:
