Missing data in a bigwig file may mean that there is no information available for certain regions, for example a repetitive region that is not being considered. In the same file regions with low coverage may get zero read counts. If missing data is replaced by zero, this would convert the excluded repetitive regions into regions of low coverage." />

**What it does**

This tool compares two bigwig files based on the number of mapped reads. To
compare the bigwig files the genome is partitioned into bins of equal size,
then the number of reads found in each BAM file are counted for such bins and
finally a summarizing value is reported. This vaule can be the ratio of the
number of readsper bin, the log2 of the ratio, the sum or the difference.
