Exporting the values returned by the windowing function in the graph based tracks

Question

[akylzhanov.r]

Dear All

I am a newcomer to the site. At the moment, I have a bed graph file which I can view in Integrated Genome Viewer. The graphical visualisation is Heatmap. The windowing function of the tracks returns the heights of the bars in heatmap. When you point on a bar in Heatmap, a window pops up showing the height of the bar. Since I have 160 genes with several bars on them. The aim: to read the heights of all bars into an excel file for further statistical analysis. What I tried: 1) to see all available manuals on Integrated Genome Viewer online 2)to apply IGVtools scripts: have found no function to suit my needs.

The question: How to export numerical information from a bedgraph file into an excel file or txt.

Thanks a lot for your possible help, Rauan.

Do you already have the bedgraph file?

The bedgraph file itself has 4 columns - Chr, start, stop, value.

Yes, I have a bed graph file. Just want to put the values into excel for further statistical analysis. Struggling to export the bed graph file to excel. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks!.

So, the answer was simple. Just open the bedgraph file by a text editor and copy paste it to excel.
