Hi
Maybe this is a silly question, but I recently found that bedtools intersect (v2.19.0) behaves weird when 0bp (those with identical start and end coordinates) features are compared. For example, an intersect of:
A.bed containing chr1 2 2B.bed containing chr1 3 3
would actually return:
C.bed containing chr1 3 3
instead of returning nothing, which is a bit confusing and also complicates matters in some uses.
Attached is an example screenshot from IGV.
