The "wgEncodeOpenChromDnaseGm12878Pk.narrowPeak.gz" resource appears to be broken in both release and devel. The resource is downloaded, but the format does not appear to match that expected by AnnotationHub internals and thus the resource cannot be loaded.

Is this the appropriate place to report such issues?

Thanks Pete. Yes, this is the best place to report it. I'll have a look and get back to you.

The problem was in parsing the first line of the file to determine the number of columns. import,BEDFile-method was parsing based on tabs or spaces but not a combination of the two. The 'AH25517' record has (at least one) field with tabs followed by spaces.

The first line of 'AH25517' (extra spaces before the '11'):

Browse[1]> line
[1] "chr1\t713841\t714424\tchr1.1\t1000\t.\t0.1783\t  11\t-1\t259"

The call to strsplit() was parsing it into a length 12 vector (vs 10):

Browse[1]> strsplit(line, "[\t ]")
[[1]]
  [1] "chr1"   "713841" "714424" "chr1.1" "1000"   "."      "0.1783" ""
  [9] ""       "11"     "-1"     "259"

The length of this vector is matched up with potential column names and data types. Once the length is off the names/data types are off which is why we see the 'expected an integer' error. I've checked in a fix to rtracklayer 1.31.8. If all goes well on the builds tomorrow I'll port it to release.

Thanks, Val! That's some classic bioinformatics file formatting right there :)
