Hi Xiaotong,

Thanks for reporting this.

Not sure what "incompatibility between the new IRanges and GenomicRanges packages" you are talking about.

To me, it looks like this happens when some list elements in the RleList object representing the coverage have length 0:

library(GenomicRanges)
cov0 <- RleList(chr1=Rle(11:15), chr2=Rle(integer()))
cov0
# RleList of length 2
# $chr1
# integer-Rle of length 5 with 5 runs
#   Lengths:  1  1  1  1  1
#   Values : 11 12 13 14 15
# 
# $chr2
# integer-Rle of length 0 with 0 runs
#   Lengths: 
#   Values : 

as(cov0, "GRanges")
# Error in .normargSeqlengths(value, seqnames(x)) : 
#   length of supplied 'seqlengths' must equal the number of sequences

Getting an RleList object with zero-length list elements in turn happens when some underlying sequences in the original GRanges object don't receive any coverage AND have their length set to NA (or 0, but that would be very unusual).

This should be fixed in GenomicRanges 1.30.2 (https://github.com/Bioconductor/GenomicRanges/commit/7fc25cb0a2cbde158f2f5c5e8a6aca005aedf772), which should become available via biocLite() in the next 48 hours.

Cheers,

H.
