It sounds like you're trying to use BED as an alternative to BAM? Probably
not a good idea, especially at this scale. Why are you aiming for a
GenomeData? A GappedAlignments might be more appropriate. See
GenomicRanges::readGappedAlignments() for bringing a BAM into a
GappedAlignments.

Hi Rene

the 'which' argument to readGappedAlignments (it'll become 'param' with the next release, and be a ScanBamParam object) allows you to select regions to process, e.g., chromosome-at-a-time, to help with file size.

This page might help:

But it could really be improved.

Hello,

I am experiencing a problem regarding the load in memory of bed files of
30 GB. my function read.table unleash the error : Error in unique(x) :
length xxxxxx is too large for hashing.

this is generated by the function MKsetup of the unique.c file. Even by
increasing by 10 000x the value, the error persists. I believe the
function pushes more data in ram, but I am not sure this is the good way
to focus on.

Ultimately, I would like to produce a GenomeData object from either a
BAM file or a bed file.

has someone ever worked with very very big BAM files (about 30 GB)

thanks

Rene paradis
