Hi Stephen,

The options in the prior post are still current for the Galaxy main server, however a direct method is something the team would like to consider. I have opened a ticket a bitbucket to track progress:
http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/727/add-a-tool-to-do-bam-to-bigwig-to-galaxy

Thanks for bringing up this topic again, it is a great idea,

Best,

Jen
Galaxy team

Hi,

What is the 'official' method of converting a BAM file to a bigwig on
the public server?

I saw this post:

http://gmod.827538.n3.nabble.com/SAM-to-bigbed-td3059499.html

but it seems a bit long winded given the commonness of the operation.

On our local galaxy we installed from the Tool Shed:

BAM to BigWig
Calculates coverage from a BAM alignment file

Which seems the obvious choice to make available.

Thanks,

Steve
