[Bioc-devel] inconsistent results from applyPileups and pileLettersAt

[Jesper Gådin]

I am developing packages(if that is of importance), and hoped the thread
could develop into discussions about how to improve the functions
addressed. But can admit that I was not sure where to post this one, as it
definitely is of general concern as well.

Anyway, if anyone found this interesting, here is the post on the support
site :)
