What is "None" bigwig signal values mean from pyBigWig bw.stats?

Hi,

This isn't an issue but a question about pyBigWig bw.stats function. When extracting signal from bigwig, some signal values are labeled as "None". Do you happen know what "None" means.

I looked in IGV comparing the regions that have "None" signal versus the regions that have "0.0" signal values, and they both look the same.

Thank you.

If memory serves you'll get None if there are no entries in the bigWig file within the region specified.
