-The bedMethyl format allows display of continuous-valued data in track format. This display type is
-useful for probability scores and transcriptome data. This track type is similar to the wiggle
-(WIG) format, but unlike the wiggle format, data exported
-in the bedMethyl format are preserved in their original state. This can be seen on export using the
-table browser. For more details on data compression in wiggle tracks see the notes section of the
-wiggle track description page. If you have a very large
-data set and you would like to keep it on your own server, you should use the
-bigWig data format. In fact, an attempt to load a bedMethyl custom track over 50,000,000 lines
-will result in an error message, but can be addressed by turning the bedMethyl into a bigWig (see
-Example 3). Note that bedMethyl files cannot easily be converted to
-wiggle files; converting bedMethyl to bigWig and using bigWigToWig will return the
-original bedMethyl file.
The bedMethyl format is line-oriented. BedMethyl data are preceded by a track definition line, which adds a number of options for controlling the default display of this track.
-Following the track definition line are the track data in four column BED format:
+Following the track definition line are the track data in 18 column BED format:chromA chromStartA chromEndA dataValueA
