**What it does**

bedtools merge combines overlapping or "book-ended" features in an interval file into a single feature which spans all of the combined features.


.. image:: $PATH_TO_IMAGES/merge-glyph.png


.. class:: warningmark

bedtools merge requires that you presort your data by chromosome and then by start position.


==========================================================================
Default behavior
==========================================================================
By default, ``bedtools merge`` combines overlapping (by at least 1 bp) and/or
bookended intervals into a single, "flattened" or "merged" interval.

::

  $ cat A.bed
  chr1  100  200
  chr1  180  250
  chr1  250  500
  chr1  501  1000

  $ bedtools merge -i A.bed
  chr1  100  500
  chr1  501  1000


==========================================================================
*-s* Enforcing "strandedness"
==========================================================================
The ``-s`` option will only merge intervals that are overlapping/bookended
*and* are on the same strand.

::

  $ cat A.bed
  chr1  100  200   a1  1 +
  chr1  180  250   a2  2 +
  chr1  250  500   a3  3 -
  chr1  501  1000  a4  4 +

  $ bedtools merge -i A.bed -s
  chr1  100  250    +
  chr1  501  1000   +
  chr1  250  500    -


==========================================================================
*-d* Controlling how close two features must be in order to merge
==========================================================================
By default, only overlapping or book-ended features are combined into a new
feature. However, one can force ``merge`` to combine more distant features
with the ``-d`` option. For example, were one to set ``-d`` to 1000, any
features that overlap or are within 1000 base pairs of one another will be
combined.

::

  $ cat A.bed
  chr1  100  200
  chr1  501  1000

  $ bedtools merge -i A.bed
  chr1  100  200
  chr1  501  1000

  $ bedtools merge -i A.bed -d 1000
  chr1  100  200  1000
