BigWig files are created from <a href="wiggle.html">wiggle</a> (wig) type files using the program <code>wigToBigWig</code>. Alternatively, bigWig files can be created from <a href="/goldenPath/help/bedgraph.html">bedGraph</a> files, using the program -<code>bedGraphToBigWig</code>. +<code>bedGraphToBigWig</code>. bigWig also supports <a target="_blank" +href="https://kundajelab.github.io/dynseq-pages/">dynseq display</a> as described in <a +href="#Ex4">example 4</a>. </p> <p> The bigWig files are in an indexed binary format. The main advantage of this format is that only those portions of the file needed to display a particular region are transferred to the Genome Browser server. Because of this, bigWig files have considerably faster display performance than regular wiggle files when working with large data sets. The bigWig file remains on your local web-accessible server (http, https or ftp), not on the UCSC server, and only the portion needed for the currently displayed chromosomal position is locally cached as a "sparse file". If you do not have access to a web-accessible server and need hosting space for your bigWig files, please see the <a href="hgTrackHubHelp.html#Hosting">Hosting</a> section of the Track Hub Help documentation.</p> <p> Wiggle data must be continuous and consist of equally sized elements. If your data is sparse or contains elements of varying sizes, use the <a href="bedgraph.html">bedGraph</a> format instead of the wiggle format. If you have a very large bedGraph data set, you can convert it to the bigWig
