My understanding is that BAM files usually contain data (aligned reads) of a slightly different nature than what usually goes into a BSgenome data package (full genome sequences). I also heard that BAM files are sometimes used to store genome assemblies but I've actually never seen this kind of file. What do you have in your BAM files? How were they generated?
