Hi Alban,

We can offer some help to troubleshoot -

Are you running this at the main server http://genome.ucsc.edu ? Or your 
own mirror? If not the main server, perhaps test there and if it works, 
then that would help to isolate the problem to your browser mirror.

You also may want to run a validator on the BAM file. Good sources are:

http://picard.sourceforge.net/
http://samtools.sourceforge.net/

And finally, regenerating the index file would be something to try.

If the validated BAM file and regenerated index file still have a 
problem loading as a custom track, please let us know. In your reply 
please state if the problem is at the UCSC server or your own mirror 
(and note when the mirror was last updated).

Best regards,
Jen

Troubleshooting with big bam datafile and UCSC genome browser

Good morning,

I'm having some troubles  using the UCSC  genome  browser trough a 
custom track file.
It's seems that it's due to the size of my bam file (which is up to 
3Gb), because it works with little date file.

Here is the called line in my custom track file:

track type=bam name="Example" 
bigDataUrl=http://user:p...@myserver/partage/NCRNA_RNAI/C3R1/hg19/maToBam/C3_C3R1_F3.csfasta.ma.bam

Here is the returning error:

Error : Invalid argument lseek(6, -8268, SEEK_CUR (1)) failed

I've searched for explanations on lseek and lseek errors, an I find this 
webpage which is reporting a bug with lseek, multiprocessor and files up 
to 1Gb.

In addition, my bam files are generated by Bioscope v1.2 (an ABI tools).

Let me know if you have a solution to my problem.
Great thanks by advance.

Best regards,

Alban Lermine
