Read a BigWig file

1	read_bigwig(file, genome_info = NULL, overlap_ranges = NULL)

`file`	A path to a file or URL.
`genome_info`	An optional character string or a Ranges object that contains information about the genome build. For example the identifier "hg19" will add build information to the returned GRanges.
`overlap_ranges`	An optional Ranges object. Only the intervals in the file that overlap the Ranges will be loaded.

a GRanges object

rtracklayer::BigWigFile()

if (.Platform$OS.type != "windows") {
  test_path <- system.file("tests", package = "rtracklayer")
  bw_file <- file.path(test_path, "test.bw")
  gr <- read_bigwig(bw_file)
