Hi Kelly, I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person, sorry. The best place to ask this kind of question is on the mailing list (cc'ed) where there is a good chance that someone will be able to help you. Cheers, H.

Given this, it appears that I should treat my gene feature annotation files (promoters, genes) as mseqnames objects, similarly to how I will treat the extrachromosomal scaffolds.

That means that each file is expected to contain only 1 sequence. What's in the FASTA header of each file is not important. What's important is that the name of each file be of the form <prefix><seqname><suffix>, where <seqname> is the name of the sequence as it appears in the 'seqnames' field, and <prefix> and <suffix> are a prefix and a suffix (eventually empty) that are the same for all the files. >>>> >>>> If what you have is a big FASTA file containing all the chromosome sequences, then you first need to split it into 1 file per chromosome. >>>> This is easy to do in R.

Hi Kelly, yes, the MEDIPS extend parameter is supposed to be the size of the fragments that have been IP'd.
