Hi, Nathan,
I haven't seen messages like these. The warnings suggest that numbers
are
being interpreted as strings, and converted to factors, but I can't
imagine why that would happen. Can you send along your sample sheet,
and
the first few lines of your peaks files? I'll see if I can reproduce
it.
Also, can you let me know the sessionInfo() and operating system and
version from both your computer and cluster?
In case it helps, "dba.count" now has a "bLowMem" option that greatly
reduces memory usage in dba.count; perhaps you will be able to get
further
on your local machine using that option. You'll have to upgrade to R
3.0.1/Bioconductor 2.12 though.
Cheers,
- Gord
