Input File for Region Lists

The input file for region lists requires three columns: chrom, chromStart, and chromEnd. An optional fourth column contains additional annotations associated with the region. The following example shows sample entries for the required columns and uses region name for the optional fourth column.

chromStart—The starting position of the variant in the chromosome (0-based).
chromEnd—The ending position of the variant in the chromosome. The end base is not included in the display of the variant. For example, the first 100 bases of the chromosome are defined as chromStart=0 and chromEnd=100, and span the bases numbered 0–99.
[Optional] An optional fourth column is recognized input for the region list.
