Dear all,

I am using Gviz and I am aiming to upload either a bigwig, wig or bedGraph file ; and I am getting the following error

Please would you advise if there is a way to fix it please. Thank you

*

dTrack2 <- DataTrack(range = bgFile, genome = "hg38", type = "l", 
+                      chromosome = "chr1", name = "bigwig")
Error in h(simpleError(msg, call)) : 
  error in evaluating the argument 'x' in selecting a method for function 'tolower': Unable to identify extension for file ''

what is the value of bgFile? It probably does not have an extension the DataTrack recognizes....

Perhaps you were referencing your file incorrectly. The Gviz vignette uses practice data within the package, so it references it using the system.file() function, e.g. system.file("extdata/test.bam", package = "Gviz"). Your own data should be referenced directly, e.g. bgFile = "path/to/myfile.bg"
