Hi @Anjaligarg006 ,

Could you please post more details? What code did you run? Are you using in-memory or tabix-based objects? Which version of methylKit are you using?

Best,
Alex

Hi,this is. my code
`
methobj=methRead(file_list,
sample.id=as.list(sample_ids),
assembly="canFam4",
treatment=treatment_id,
context="CpG",
dbdir = "methyDB",dbtype="tabix",
pipeline = "bismarkCytosineReport")

#########################################

Filtering samples based on read coverage

filtered.methobj=filterByCoverage(methobj,lo.count=10,lo.perc=NULL,
hi.count=NULL,hi.perc=99.9)

merging samples

meth=methylKit::unite(filtered.methobj, destrand=FALSE)
`
I am using tabix-based object and 1.30.0 version of methylkit.

The code looks fine to me, but the chromosome names seem off in the output you showed.
Could you please send a tiny subset of your data that recreates the issue.

Best would be a few hundred lines from the bismark cytosine reports, please make sure to include enough lines with CpG context.

Hi, When I am trying with two samples it is working fine. But when including more samples it shows meta characters in chromosome name column. Can you please help me with this?

Hi @Anjaligarg006,

Can you share some of the files that reproduce the issue?

Best,
