Little Tools

This is supposed to become a little collection of tools to facilitate everyday work with the UCSC file formats/tools. It's possible that they already exist somewhere in the the source tree but since there is so little documentation about the source tree, I might have overlooked them. I'm trying to add one per week.

bedProject Will add or substract numbers from positions in a bed file (gawk)

bedTotalSize Prints length of region covered by bedfile (python)

bedRegion Prints the maximum range coverd by a bed (gawk)

ucsc Uploads a file to your favorite ftp server and displays it on the UCSC of your choice with firefox (bash)
