bigBed / bigWig file formats #2

Open misshie opened 13 years ago

Many tables such as ncbiIncidentDB and wgEnsembleFooBar contains only a filename record pointing bigBed / bigWig files.

Some mechanism to support access to these files are required. Automatic download and caching is better.

Hi! I created a Ruby binding for libBigWig called bio-bigwig.

This library allows you to handle local bigWig / bigBed files. (Writing files is not supported yet.)

For remote files, we are still getting curl errors, but I hope to fix that in the near future.
