SUMMARY: We created bigwig-loader, a data-loader for epigenetic profiles from BigWig files that decompresses and processes information for multiple intervals from multiple BigWig files in parallel. This is an access pattern needed to create training batches for typical machine learning models on epigenetics data. Using a new codec, the decompression can be done on a graphical processing unit (GPU) making it fast enough to create the training batches during training, mitigating the need for saving preprocessed training examples to disk. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The bigwig-loader installation instructions and source code can be accessed at https://github.com/pfizer-opensource/bigwig-loader.
