hi all: usually in R, people like to use readGappedAlignments to read aligned bam files, it is only for saving momery? is there any function to read sam files? for some data, especially for human, the bam file is still very large (more than 15 G), do you have some ways to deal with it partly? thx shan gao [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Sam files are text files, so read.table can do so. I'd suggest following Martin's advice in his answer. > and is there some way to read bam files partly? I think Martin just answered this question. Give it a try and let us know if you have problems by including the code you tried, any errors, and the output of sessionInfo(). Sean
