Modify a BED file
You can optionally modify a BED file before adding it to your reference genome. You can use this technique to avoid regions for which you do not want variants called (even if the variants appear in your sample).
You can modify a BED file only before uploading the file with the Torrent Browser.
Follow these instructions to modify a BED file:
- Make a copy of your BED file. Rename the two files in a way that reflects changes you make to the regions being analyzed.
- Open the BED file with a text editor.
- Delete the lines for regions you do not want.
-
Save the file.
If the region (or regions) appear in both your targeted regions BED file and in your hotspots BED or VCF file, you must delete the line for those regions from both types of BED file.
