BEDTools is a powerful software suite designed for genomic data analysis. It allows researchers to manipulate and analyze data in the BED format, which is commonly used to represent genomic features such as genes and regulatory elements. With various command-line utilities, users can perform tasks like intersecting, merging, and comparing genomic intervals. This tool is widely used in the field of bioinformatics, particularly for tasks involving genome annotation and variant analysis. Its flexibility and efficiency make it a popular choice among scientists working with large-scale genomic datasets, facilitating the exploration of complex biological questions.
