Hi Kelly,

no, the suggested code will not work. Yes, you have to provide parameters
for each bam file that you are going to import. In case these parameters
are the same for each of your bam files, this procedure appears to be
redundant. If you want to write more efficient code for such cases you
might want to try something like:

bam.files = "samples.txt" #contains path/file.bam per row for all bam files
that belong to the same group, e.g. biological replicates
bam.files = read.table(bam.files, stringsAsFactors=F)

MSets_groupA = NULL
for(i in 1:nrow(bam.files)){
    MSets_groupA = c(MSets_groupA, MEDIPS.createSet(file=bam.files[i,1],
extend=extend, window_size=window_size, BSgenome=BSgenome, uniq=uniq,
chr.select=chr.select, paired=paired, sample_name=bam.files[i,1]))
    gc()
}
