[Bioc-sig-seq] GRanges, failure assigning chromosome lengths

Hi Patrick,

You are correct. The validity check is rejecting the input. The
problem with that is that I have three set, all of them failing perhap
because one or two tags are out of bounds.

This tags are coming straight from the Illumina sequencer.  There is
no manipulation. Perhaps it is complaining because the validity check
does not know that Mitochondrial DNA is circular.

Bottom line, anybody attempting to load the data as GRanges from a
high coverage tag set will find this seqlengths() rejection.

Is there any way to override it or should I just refrain from
assigning chromosome lengths? The online vignette does not mention if
there is a switch to the validity check.

Thank you,

Ivan
