+## bigwig peak outlier to bed
+
+### July 30 2024 for the VGP
+
+This code will soon become a Galaxy tool, for building some of the [NIH MARBL T2T assembly polishing](https://github.com/marbl/training) tools as Galaxy workflows.
+
+The next JBrowse2 tool release will include a plugin for optional colours to distinguish bed features, shown being tested in the screenshots below.
+
+### Find and mark BigWig peaks to a bed file for display
+
+In the spirit of DeepTools, but finding contiguous regions where the bigwig value is either above or below a given centile.
+0.99 and 0.01 for example. These quantile cut point values are found and applied over each chromosome using some [cunning numpy code](http://gregoryzynda.com/python/numpy/contiguous/interval/2019/11/29/contiguous-regions.html)

+Big differences between chromosomes 14,15,21,22 and Y in this "all contigs" view - explanations welcomed:

+
+
+[pybedtools](https://github.com/jackh726/bigtools) is used for the bigwig interface. Optionally allow
+multiple bigwigs to be processed into a single bed - the bed features have the bigwig name in the label for viewing.
+
+### Note on quantiles per chromosome rather than quantiles for the whole bigwig
+
+It is just not feasible to hold all contigs in the entire decoded bigwig in RAM to estimate quantiles. It may be
+better to sample across all chromosomes so as not to lose any systematic differences between them - the current method will hide those
+differences unfortunately. Sampling might be possible. Looking at the actual quantile values across a couple of test bigwigs suggests that
+there is not much variation between chromosomes but there's now a tabular report to check them for each input bigwig.
