Bio::Graphics::Browser2::DataLoader::archive — bestie, it's a data loader for archives of BigWig files 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so, this is a data loader that works with archives of BigWig files to generate a BigWigSet database. The way that you can take two or more BigWig files, combine them into one archive file, and upload it? Iconic. The files get extracted, a metadata index is generated if it's required, and a configuration is written using subtracks for each BigWig file. It's giving fast, convenient option to bundle a whole bunch of data files together and serve up a concise, organized interface to multiple data tracks. Periodt. 💅

Supported archives include TAR (.tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .tbz2, .tar.bz2) and ZIP (.zip) files. Lowkey important: 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 — they don't get an invite to the party 🙈

Subtrack tables are set up using the display_name tag value. 🎀

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

🌸 SETUP 🌸

The Bio-BigFile (Bio::DB::BigWigSet) Perl module must be installed. No module, no vibes. 😭

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