A .2bit file stores multiple DNA sequences (up to 4 Gb total) in a compact randomly-accessible format. The file contains masking information as well as the DNA itself. The DNA sequence is represented ...
This format is for displaying SNPs from personal genomes. It is the same as is used for the Genome Variants and Population Variants tracks.
The ENCODE peak information Format is used to provide called regions of signal enrichment based on pooled, normalized (interpreted) data.
Gene Prediction File Format (genePred) is a table format commonly used for gene prediction tracks in the Genome Browser. Variations of genePred include standard format, extended format and a format wh ...
The Multiple Alignment Format stores DNA level multiple alignments in an easily readable format between entire genomes. Unlike previous formats this resource can cope with forward and reverse strand d ...
The net file format is used to describe the axtNet data that underlie the net alignment annotations in the Genome Browser.
BLAT is a multiple algorithms developed for the analysis and comparison of biological sequences such as DNA, RNA and proteins.
BED (Browser Extensible Data) format provides a flexible way to define the data lines that are displayed in an genome annotation track. BED lines have three required fields and nine additional optiona ...
BAM is the compressed binary version of the Sequence Alignment/Map (SAM) format, a compact and indexable representation of nucleotide sequence alignments. Many next-generation sequencing and analysis ...
The chain format describes a pairwise alignment that allow gaps in both sequences simultaneously. Each set of chain alignments starts with a header line, contains one or more alignment data lines, and ...
The bedGraph format allows display of continuous-valued data in track format. This display type is useful for probability scores and transcriptome data. This track type is similar to the wiggle (WIG) ...
The wiggle (WIG) format is an older format for display of dense, continuous data such as GC percent, probability scores, and transcriptome data. The bigWig format is the recommended format for almost ...
The bigWig format is for display of dense, continuous data that will be displayed in the Genome Browser as a graph. The bigWig files are in an indexed binary format. The main advantage of this format ...
Axt Alignment files are produced from Blastz, an alignment tool available from Webb Miller's lab at Penn State University. The axtNet and axtChain alignments are produced by processing the alignment f ...
The XTC format is a portable binary format for trajectories produced by GROMACS package. It uses the External Data Representation (xdr) routines for writing and reading data which were created for the ...
ENA Sequence Flat File Format is a standardised plain text format for nucleotide sequences. This format was previously called the EMBL Sequence Flat File Format.
Standard flowgram format (SFF) is a binary file format used to encode results of pyrosequencing from the 454 Life Sciences platform for high-throughput sequencing. SFF files can be viewed, edited and ...
The bigBed format stores annotation items that can either be simple, or a linked collection of exons, much as BED files do. BigBed files are created initially from BED type files, using the program be ...
Genome assemblies and aligned annotations for a wide range of vertebrates and model organisms, along with an integrated tool set for visualizing, comparing, analyzing and sharing both publicly availab ...
ICM binary file Format is used in databases pertaining to structural biology and protein families. This format can be used for the graphical representation of RNA, DNA, and proteins interactions.
