perl v5.40.0                                       2024-10-20             Bio::Graphics::...Loader::archive(3pm)

       A data loader to work with archives of BigWig files to generate a BigWigSet database. Two or more BigWig
       files may be combined into an archive file and uploaded. The files are extracted, a metadata index
       generated if required, and a configuration written using subtracks for each BigWig file. This allows a
       fast, convenient option to bundle multiple data files together and provide a concise, organized interface
       to multiple data tracks.

       Supported archives include TAR (.tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .tbz2, .tar.bz2) and ZIP (.zip) files. Archives
       should include only BigWig files (which must have a .bw extension) and optionally a metadata text file.
       Extraneous files and directory paths are ignored.

       Subtrack tables are set up using the display_name tag value.

       See the documentation for Bio::DB::BigWigSet for more information.

       The Bio-BigFile (Bio::DB::BigWigSet) Perl module must be installed.

       Archives are processed through external tar and unzip utilities. These are located by searching the
       default environment PATH.
