Bed File Coordinates
Hi all, In a spreadsheet i have my list of rs# with their chromosomal number and locations. I want to generate a BED file for these variants. I wanted to know if the start and end coordinates should be the same or should they be offset by 1.
For e.g. Chr1:1000,1000 or Chr1:1000,1001 or Chr1:999,1000
where 1000 is the chromosomal coordinate for that rs#.
the BED file will be used as an input region file to query a VCF file using tabix.
thanks in advance. a

Directly from Tabix.
-e INT Column of end chromosomal position. The end column can be the same as the start column. [5]
So yes: Start = Stop

Sorry, could you please say what rs# means, google didn't helped me as well :)
rs is a dbsnp id.
oh wow, '#' makes crazy bold.
if the line begins with it then it becomes the markdown symbol for starting a header, (disclaimer: I did not invent that)
maybe it should be removed for comments? I could see how this could get out of hand.
you can just edit and fix it, it needs to be in a code block like so
#rs1I was thinking more about consistency of comments and people being annoying :-).
