Hi all,

We have been using Rsamtools to import BAM files also. On previous sequencing 
runs the BAM files were around 800 megs and I could import the entire BAM with 
.readAligned_bam(). Our new sequencing data creates larger BAM files and I am 
unable to import them like before. So, as Steve pointed out to me offline, I 
probably will need to import the reads from each chromosome individually. 
Unfortunately it does not seem to be recognizing my chromosome names, error msg 
below. Has anyone had a similar problem or recognize something that I might be 
doing incorrectly? Thanks in advance.

In addition: Warning message:

For what it's worth, I'm using the version of Rsamtools from SVN in
order to read BAM files, and it works "as advertised". Note that this
means you (should be) using R 2.11 (you can get it from here:
http://r.research.att.com/).
