Hi Diya,

In the sample rows you provided, the value in your tenth column 
(blockCount) for all your sample rows is 1, indicating that each item 
only has one block. Additionally, the thickStart=chromStart and 
thickEnd=chromEnd for each item, which is why each of the items is 
displayed as "thick" from end to end.

Items with multiple blocks will have the a number greater than 1 for 
blockCount (the 10th column), a comma separated list of block sizes in 
the 11th column (blockSizes) and a comma separated list of the block 
start positions in the 12th column (blockStarts).

Please see the following link for more details about the BED format and 
a sample of BED data with multiple blocks:

Please contact the mail list ([email protected]) again if you have any 
further questions.
