Package: iscream 1.2.0

James Eapen

iscream: Make fast and memory efficient BED file queries, summaries and matrices

BED files store ranged genomic data that can be queried even when the files are compressed. iscream can query data from BED files and return them in muliple formats: parsed records or their summary statistics as data frames or GenomicRanges objects, and matrices as matrix, GenomicRanges, or SummarizedExperiment objects. iscream also provides specialized support for importing methylation data.
