[Bioc-sig-seq] different results between Rsamtools and samtools

Hi Ivan,

thanks a lot...

This happens to 2 files I have (that's why I think the problem is with
the files)... So, the header (using samtools view -H) is concordant
with Rsamtools...

@SQ	SN:chr10	LN:135374737
@SQ	SN:chr11	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr12	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr13	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr14	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr15	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr16	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr17	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr18	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr19	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr1	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr20	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr21	LN:46944323
@SQ	SN:chr22	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr2	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr3	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr4	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr5	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr6	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr7	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr8	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chr9	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chrM	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chrX	LN:0
@SQ	SN:chrY	LN:57772954

So, the header seems to be the culprit...

Thank you very much,

b
