Hi, does anyone know if the results for multiBigwigSummary (--outRawCounts scores) are in log? Thanks!

They're in whatever scale the bigWigs are in. So if your bigWig files have scores on a log2 scale then so is the file produced by --outRawCounts.

Yes, it was my first thought, but just to be sure. Thank you very much!
