AboutBED to CSV
Convert BED genomic interval files into CSV rows with chromosome, start, end and optional name/score/strand columns.Category: Scientific FormatsReviewing genomic intervals in a spreadsheetAuditing annotation tracks
The BED to CSV tool is compatible with:UCSC Genome BrowserGenomics Pipelines. This tool alone can help you manage and analyze your data effectively. However, a composed workflow using VCF TO CSV, FASTA TO CSV may provide even more powerful data processing capabilities. Consider exploring these related tools for a comprehensive data solution.BED (Browser Extensible Data) is the plain-text format genome browsers like UCSC's use to describe genomic intervals — gene annotations, regulatory regions, called peaks — as a simple whitespace-delimited list with no fixed header. This converter skips optional "track" and "browser" description lines, then maps each remaining line onto the standard positional BED columns (chromosome, start, end, and whichever optional name, score, strand or block fields are present) so nothing has to be guessed from column position anymore. Turning intervals into a labeled table makes it far easier to filter by chromosome, sort by score, or cross-check a set of regions against another dataset in a spreadsheet. It works entirely client-side, so you can pull annotation tracks straight out of a genome browser export and inspect them without any command-line tooling.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Does BED have a fixed header?
No, BED files have no fixed header, the tool maps columns positionally (chrom, start, end, and any optional fields present).
What about track or browser description lines?
Those are skipped automatically so they don't get parsed as data rows.
