[Bioc-sig-seq] Loading large BAM files

[Ivan Gregoretti]

Hi everybody,

As I wait for my large BAM to be read in by scanBAM, I can't help but to wonder:

Has anybody tried combining scanBam with multicore to load the
chromosomes in parallel?

That would require

1) to merge the chunks at the end and

2) the original BAM to be indexed.

Does anybody have any experience to share?

Thank you,

Ivan
