iscream

Make fast and memory efficient BED file queries, summaries and matrices

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.2.0

BED files store ranged genomic data that can be queried even when the files are compressed. iscream can query data from BED files and return them in muliple formats: parsed records or their summary statistics as data frames or GenomicRanges objects, and matrices as matrix, GenomicRanges, or SummarizedExperiment objects. iscream also provides specialized support for importing methylation data.

Installation
