idxstatsBam is failing when used on a remote (http) bam file. The corresponding .bai index file is definitely there on the server (from bash samtools idxstats works fine). The bam file and index also seem to be fine; if downloaded to my laptop, idxstatsBam works fine.

Other RSamtools functions, such as scanBam seem to find the remote just fine, as shown below.

Would really like to use idxstatsBam with http-hosted bam files for quick way to count all reads in a file. Any thoughts?


# does not find remote index
idxstatsBam("http://plantsmallrnagenes.science.psu.edu/ccm-b0.32/alignments/SRR3977128_ca.bam")
Error in idxstatsBam(bam, ...) : file.exists(index(file)) is not TRUE

# but scanBam can find and use the remote index
which <- IRangesList(Ccam0.32_scaffold111 = IRanges(801256, 801507))
what <- scanBamWhat()
param <- ScanBamParam(which=which, what=what)
scanBam("http://plantsmallrnagenes.science.psu.edu/ccm-b0.32/alignments/SRR3977128_ca.bam", 
        param = param)

Can you tell me if the following works for you? In a new R session

library(Rsamtools)

setMethod(idxstatsBam, "BamFile",
          function(file, index=file, ...)
{
    if (!isOpen(file)) {
        open(file)
        on.exit(close(file))
    }
    result <- .Call(Rsamtools:::.idxstats_bamfile, Rsamtools:::.extptr(file))
    seqnames <- factor(result[[1]], levels=sortSeqlevels(unique(result[[1]])))
    o <- order(seqnames)
    data.frame(seqnames=seqnames[o], seqlength=result[[2]][o],
               mapped=result[[3]][o], unmapped=result[[4]][o])
})

and then running your own code

idxstatsBam("http://plantsmallrnagenes.science.psu.edu/ccm-b0.32/alignments/SRR3977128_ca.bam")

I will update Rsamtools along these lines...

Thanks Martin. Yes, that works.
