Good Morning Professor Raghuraman:
I'm not sure what you mean with the .dms file extension.
What procedure do you use to obtain the binary from
the URL address ?
After downloading the file, it should appear:
$ ls -og bigWigToWig
-rw-rw-rw- 1 923340 Apr 6 11:05 bigWigToWig
Then, set the execute bit on the binary:
$ chmod +x bigWigToWig
$ ls -og bigWigToWig
-rwxrwxrwx 1 923340 Apr 6 11:05 bigWigToWig
It should then run:
$ ./bigWigToWig
bigWigToWig - Convert bigWig to wig. This will keep more of the same structure of the
original wig than bigWigToBedGraph does, but still will break up large stepped sections
into smaller ones.
usage:
bigWigToWig in.bigWig out.wig
options:
-chrom=chr1 - if set restrict output to given chromosome
-start=N - if set, restrict output to only that over start
-end=N - if set, restict output to only that under end
-udcDir=/dir/to/cache - place to put cache for remote bigBed/bigWigs
These commands are run from the terminal application on the command line.
