A BED (Browser Extensible Data) file is a text file format used to store genomic regions as coordinates and associated annotations. It typically contains tab-separated columns like chromosome, start position, end position, name, score, and strand.

Click the "Open Local File" button to select a `.bed` file from your device. Its plain text content will be displayed.

Question 3

Does this tool visualize BED data on a genome browser?

No, this viewer only displays the raw text content of the BED file. It does not provide visualization on a genome browser track. For that, you would use tools like IGV or UCSC Genome Browser.
