Much of the code herein is taken from Jim Kent's BED processing code.
I am grateful for his elegant genome binning algorithm and therefore use it extensively.

I learned much of what I know about C++ style from Michael Stromberg. I was formerly a C and Perl
programmer and struggled to switch to C++. The structure of BEDTools and much of the coding style
emulates Michael's. Thanks Mike.

3. Galaxy.
I had been using Galaxy for months prior to writing these tools. Much of the functionality is based on what is

especially with large sequencing datasets. Regardless, I am grateful to the Galaxy team for creating such a
useful site that is rapidly approaching ubiquity.
4. Ira Hall.
Discussion between Ira and I are largely the motivation for these tools. We are frequently tracking
down impromptu ideas and these tools were largely designed to facilitate tangents.
