# pybedtools.bedtool.BedTool.tabix_intervals

`BedTool.``tabix_intervals`(interval_or_string, check_coordinates=False)

  Retrieve all intervals within coordinates from a “tabixed” BedTool.

  Given either a string in “chrom:start-stop” format, or an interval-like object with chrom, start, stop attributes, return a streaming BedTool of the features in this BedTool that overlap the provided interval.

  If the coordinates are invalid, an empty generator is returned unless `check_coordinates=True` in which case a ValueError will be raised.
