Hi Florian,
True. These restrictions don't make much sense these days anymore!
Some of them are gone in the devel version of BSgenome. The
BSgenomeForge vignette in devel now says:
The sequence data must be in a single twoBit file (e.g. musFur1.2bit)
or in a collection of FASTA files (possibly gzip-compressed).
I guess I should also support a single FASTA file.

Hi all,
I was wondering whether some of the rather arbitrary restrictions on input
files for the process of forging as new Bsgenome package could be liftet. In
particular:
Why do we need all chromosomes in individual files? Couldn�t the function be
smart enough to just extract the relevant bits from a single file containing
all chromosomes? Or even from several such files?
Why are gzipped files not allowed? Pretty much all tools in Biostrings seem to
be able to deal with gzipped fasta files these days.
Thanks,
Florian
