Preview works great on CSV files, and it would be great if this worked for UCSC BED files
Created by Gabriel Hoffman gabriel.hoffman Further, I'd note that plink binary files also use the .bed extension, so ambiguity among different types of bed files could be a source of confusion/difficulty with the ability to preview automatically. Hi Gabe:
Unfortunately it very hard to handle a bed file correctly without knowing the species of the data using a genome browser. You can add a genome browser of a bed file (if there is a index file) in a wiki however. If you want to add a series of wiki pages with genome browser (see for example bed file syn2246879 and the files in folder syn2246520) you can script it. I have gist of the code I used to generate the above wiki pages, https://gist.github.com/larssono/b0d54c6663f8d340163b that could be modified for your use case.
