About BED files

BED (Browser Extensible Data) files are a type of text-based file used to store genomic data, such as gene expression, DNA sequences, and other biological information. They are commonly used in bioinformatics and genomics research. BED files are typically used in genome browsers such as UCSC Genome Browser and Ensembl, and are compatible with other data formats such as GFF, BAM, and GTF.

BED files can be converted to other formats using a variety of software, such as Tabix, and UCSC Genome Browser. These files can be converted to formats such as GFF, BAM, GTF, and VCF.

When converting BED files, it is important to consider the specific requirements of the target format. For example, some formats may require specific column headers or data types that are not present in the source BED file. Additionally, some formats may not be able to handle large datasets, which can make conversion difficult.

Despite these challenges, BED files are still widely used in bioinformatics and genomics research. However, if you need to convert BED files, you should consider using the free and easy online website Convert.Guru.


The BED Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best BED converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
