Normalizing Bigwig values
What is the best method to normalize the values in a bigwig or bedGraph file? I am trying to compare two bigwig files, one whose range is between 0 and approximately 0.01, and another that is between 0 and 800. Thank you!

There is a very good answer by ATpoint that gets into this and how to use the size factors from DESeq2 or edgeR to normalize bigwigs as rpolicastro mentions.

Yes, feature counts should work fine, or csaw.

The bamCompare function from deepTools will allow the creation of a library size normalized bigwig comparing two samples.
If you want a normalized bigwig per sample, consider using the library size factors from DESeq2 or EdgeR when making individual bigwigs with deepTools, using them as input in the
--sizeFactorargument.Thank you! How would I create a standard count matrix to carry out the DESeq2 size factors? using featureCounts?
