opening a BigWig file

[Alan Friedman]

I downloaded a ChIP=Seq data set (H3k4me1_ChIP_Seq.zip) published as supplemental material to a recent Science article.

An example of a file name  in this folder when unzipped is: GMP.ucsc.bigWig

 

Can you give me instructions on how to open a view this data using a genome browser?

 

Thank you.
