Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable)  :
  unable to find an inherited method for function ‘scanBamHeader’ for signature ‘"list"’

Hey Marta,

Didt you ever find out what the issue was? I get the same error: 'Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable) : unable to find an inherited method for function ‘scanBamHeader’ for signature ‘"list" '

when I am trying to run scanBamHeader on my BAM file

Kind regards, Tijmen

Can you please show the output of class(...) when run on whatever variable name you provide to bam.files ? And if it is "list", run a lapply(...,class) on that?
