Hello I wish to add minus signs in my granges scores. These scores come from a Gro-seq bigwig and they are counts from the negative strand however they come as positive values. I want to make them negative so that I can visualize the signal together with positive strand tracks in the genome browser. Can this be done in granges? Thank you very much!

Or maybe you mean something in the mcols slot?
