The most widely-used tools enable *genome arithmetic*: that is, set theory on the genome. For example, **bedtools** allows one to *intersect*, *merge*, *count*, *complement*, and *shuffle* genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used -genomic file formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF. - -While each individual tool is designed to do a relatively simple task (e.g., +genomic file formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF. While each individual tool is designed to do a relatively simple task (e.g., *intersect* two interval files), quite sophisticated analyses can be conducted by combining multiple bedtools operations on the UNIX command line. +========================== +Interesting usage examples +========================== +To whet your appetite, here are a few examples of ways in which bedtools has been used for genome research.
