The resulting bigBed files are in an - indexed binary format. The advantage of these bigBed files is that only portions of the files - needed to display a particular region are transferred to UCSC. So for large data sets, - bigBed is considerably faster than regular BED files. + <font face="courier" size="3"><b>15 May 2015 - + Work for Us!
