Track Format
3 properties
How a genomic annotation file is encoded: its primary file format
and, for BED-family formats, the number of standard and extra columns.
Corresponds to FGA-WG issue #1 (data formats), which distinguishes a
format (e.g. narrowPeak) from
a column standard (e.g. BED6+3).
The file_format slot draws on the
Format vocabulary.
Properties
file_format
The primary file format in which the track is encoded.
bed_core_columns
For BED-family formats, the number of standard (core) BED columns present — the N in "BEDN". Only relevant when file_format is a BED-family format.
⚑ Recommended when file_format is BED.
bed_extra_columns
For BED-family formats, the number of extra/custom columns appended after the core columns — the M in "BEDN+M". Only relevant when file_format is a BED-family format.
