[Bioc-devel] a day in the life of gwascat

[Vincent Carey]

The EBI GWAS catalog is large -- now the download is over 100MB for 179K
associations.  A "bug" in the
package was reported, so I acquired the file by hand.

> nn = read.delim("gwas_catalog_v1.0.2-associations_e98_r2020-03-08.tsv",
sep="\t")

*Warning message:*

*In scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = dec,  :*

*  EOF within quoted string*

> dim(nn)

[1] 35264    38


The "bug" is the number 35264 ...

*Maybe my R needs to be updated.*


*If I use data.table::fread to consume the tsv over HTTP all seems well,
and perhaps*

*I will switch to that.*
