BEDTools now hosted on Google Code

Hi all,
Owing to issues with sourceforge (or perhaps the limited brainpower of this author), BEDTools is now hosted by Google Code. Life just got a bit easier for me. Thanks to snownebula for the advice.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for writing these bed manipulation tools, they work really well on large files and are saving me a lot of time writing perl scripts. Also, I really enjoyed your talks at the CSHL Sequencing Course this year

Hey Nick,
I'm glad you find them useful. In the next couple of weeks I will release an updated version that includes some new tools and I've found a way to cut run times further by roughly 50% for the "overlap" tools (intersectBed, windowBed, etc.). This will be useful when doing serial comparisons of large sequencing datasets (say, 100 million reads or more) against multiple BED files.

Take it easy,
Aaron
