.cool format output

[vidaletal]

Hi Caleb,

Sorry to bother again, but I was wondering if by any chance you had to convert any of the hichipper output files to the .cool format.

I've tried without success from the bedpe, but it gave me an error (related to duplicate pixels due to same peaks overlapping different bin). I believe this error can be avoided if I use tabix or .validpairs as input. (even better the latter format if possible).

However, I am unable to use the tabix format. I can't either load it on UCSC.
Trying to decompress didn't work either.
All my other outputs are fine.

$ which bgzip
/usr/local/bin/bgzip
$ which tabix
/usr/local/bin/tabix
$ hichipper --version
hichipper, version 0.7.7

Any idea what may be wrong?

Best

Raphael
