[BioC] How to write "matchprobes" result(list of vector) to a table?

Not completely unexpected. At the time, I remember parallelizing the job
to make use of several processors...

This is most likely the way to go.
If you want everything in one table, you may have the need for refinements
since the output list (or the two lists if 'probepos=TRUE') has one
element per reference sequence in the input, but can have 0 to many
matches for
each one of these elements.

If you are unsure, first save your list (R command 'save'), as it
represents 150 hours of (computer) work.


Hoping this helps,
