Hi all,
I'm running the pileupAsGRanges function from ggbio, and just
wondering if there was a limit to the depth it reports? I have
targeted sequencing data and expect many thousands of reads per base
but the depth seems to be around 250?

GRanges with 3 ranges and 7 metadata columns:
seqnames ranges strand | A C
G
<rle> <iranges> <rle> | <integer> <integer>
<integer>
[1] chr17 [7577489, 7577489] + | 1 0
249
[2] chr17 [7577490, 7577490] + | 0 6
245
[3] chr17 [7577491, 7577491] + | 1 250
0
T N depth bam
<integer> <integer> <numeric> <character>
[1] 0 0 250 CleanedBams/FLD0097.bam
[2] 0 0 251 CleanedBams/FLD0097.bam
[3] 1 0 252 CleanedBams/FLD0097.bam
I think that samtools mpileup has a default depth of 250, so is it the
case that the applyPileup function is using the same limit, and it is
possible to change it?
