Hi Stephen, please excuse my late respond. Indeed, the segfault occurs whenever the currently processed genomic region is of negative length (i.e. the start coordinate is larger than the end coordinate), the coordinates are outside of the length of the chromosome, or the chromosome of the ROI is not represented by the regions used as input for creating the MEDIPS SETs. Typically, the error can be avoided by correcting the ROI file. Although you have already checked problematic genomic regions, I would be more than happy, if you once more check these regions (and also the immediate neighbors) with respect to the constraints I just mentioned. Please let me know, if your ROI file appears to be fine. In this case I will try to back-track the error message. However, please note that I have extensively revised the MEDIPS package (also avoiding segfault errors) which I intend to update as soon as possible, especially in advance of the next Bioconductor release. I strongly recommend to switch to the new version as soon as available.

Lukas, I checked and there are no positions where start>end position.

Hi Stephen, thank you for the additional details about the segfault error. You have convinced me that your genomic regions appear to be fine. The only thing that came to my attention is that your IDs are not unique. The MEDIPS.methylProfiling() function is calling the C function roiprofile.c which has problems with non-unique IDs for the ROIs. It would be great, if you can once more try your analysis with unique IDs (e.g. just adding a counter to each ID)? One more thing: the majority of your regions of interest are very large (up to 2,960,899 nt). In my opinion, a single averaged methylation value for such a long region is difficult to interpret. MeDIP signals typically vary in a much smaller resolution along the chromosomes and a single methylation as well as CpG density value for a long stretch will be probably just an average of many local enriched regions and many non enriched region. However, as I do not know what exactly you are analyzing your approach might be reasonable and I hope we get the segfault fixed. As I mentioned previously, the soon to be released update does not depend on C functions anymore but makes extensive use of the GenomicRanges and other packages so that the current segfault error will be avoided anyway.
