Add a feature to makewindows that the initial window size and the initial step size can be specified.
I need to get tiling windows representing rounded coordinates at some digits.
That is, rounded coordinates at a digit are the boundaries of target windows.
For example:
Currently, this kind of windows may be obtained by
bedtools makewindows,bedtools shift, concatenate short intervals for each chromosome, andbedtools sort. However, the target windows can be obtained by onlybedtools makewindowswith some modifications, and it will be efficient (sorry, but I have not benchmarked).In this pull request, I introduced "initial window size" (-iw) option and "initial step size" (-is) option. Using the options, you can use
bedtools makewindowsas follows:I'd like to share the changes.
