Bedtoolsr: An R package for genomic data analysis and manipulation.


ABSTRACT: The sequencing of the human genome and subsequent advances in DNA sequencing technology have created a need for computational tools to analyze and manipulate genomic data sets. The bedtools software suite and the R programming language have emerged as indispensable tools for this purpose but have lacked integration. Here we describe bedtoolsr, an R package that provides simple and intuitive access to all bedtools functions from within the R programming environment. We provide several usability enhancements, support compatibility with past and future versions of bedtools, and include unit tests to ensure stability. bedtoolsr provides a user-focused, harmonious integration of the bedtools software suite with the R programming language that should be of great use to the genomics community.
