We present bedtk, a new toolkit for manipulating genomic intervals in the BED format. It supports sorting, merging, intersection, subtraction and the calculation of the breadth of coverage. Bedtk uses implicit interval tree, a data structure for fast interval overlap queries. It is several to tens of times faster than existing tools and tends to use less memory.

Bedtk：找到与隐式区间树重叠的区间

我们提出了 Bedtk，这是一种用于以 BED 格式操作基因组区间的新工具包。它支持排序、合并、交集、减法和覆盖广度的计算。Bedtk 使用隐式区间树，这是一种用于快速区间重叠查询的数据结构。它比现有工具快几到几十倍，并且往往使用更少的内存。
