Jun 14, 2017 at 12:49 comment added bli Using bigWigToWig, I can indeed obtain a wig file from the bigwig and add a custom track name that is displayed in IGV. Then, rebuilding a bigwig using wigToBigWig indeed looses the track name and I get the file name instead in IGV. This is for biwig files obtained directly with bamCoverage. I failed at reconverting wig to bigwig when the initial bigwig file was "manually" generated using pyBigWig. wigToBigWig complained as follows: line 1507430 of tests/tmp.wig: chromosome I has 15072434 bases, but item ends at 15072440. I guess I should post another question regarding this issue.
