We are pleased to announce the availability of Genomedata 1.3.6!
Genomedata can now detect and load in bigWig signal files for use as
your trackdata. It requires the UCSC utility 'bigWigToBedGraph' on your
PATH to automatically make the conversion.
This release also fixes issues with deprecated PyTables API functions
and is highly recommended as an upgrade to avoid these errors in the future.
Please let me know if you have any comments on Genomedata, its
documentation, web site, installation, or anything else. (The preferred
place to make these comments is on the genomedata-users mailing list or
by reporting an issue on the issue tracker, both linked from the main
web site).
Here is a full list of changes made since the last announcement here:
