Collectively, the bedtools utilities are a swiss-army knife of tools for a wide-range of genomics analysis tasks. The most widely-used tools enable genome arithmetic: that is, set theory on the genome.

bedtools is intended to run in a “command line” environment on UNIX, LINUX and Apple OS X operating systems. Installing bedtools involves either downloading the source code and compiling it manually, or installing stable release from package managers such as homebrew (for OS X).

The most widely-used tools enable genome arithmetic: that is, set theory on the genome. For example, bedtools allows one to intersect, merge, count, complement, and shuffle genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used genomic file formats such as …

bedtools consists of a suite of sub-commands that are invoked as follows: bedtools [ sub - command ] [ options ] For example, to intersect two BED files, one would invoke the following:

BEDTools is a collection of utilities for comparing, summarizing, and intersecting genomic features in the UCSC Genome Browser BED format. BEDTools allows one to intersect, merge, count, complement, and shuffle genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used genomic file formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF.

The most widely-used tools enable genome arithmetics: that is, set theory on the genome. For example, bedtools allows one to intersect, merge, count, complement, and shuffle genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used genomic file formats such as …

The bedtools suite enables one to answer common questions of genomic data in a fast and reliable manner. The fact that almost all the utilities accept input from “stdin” allows one to “stream / pipe” several commands together to facilitate more complicated analyses. Also, the tools allow fine control over how output is reported.
