Error with galGal6 genome

Question

[palabari]

I am trying to load the chicken genome to plot some genes on karyoploteR but it is not working. Any ideas why or how I could solve this? Thank you.

kp <- plotKaryotype(genome="galGal6")
[1] "galGal6"
Loading ideogram...
Error in normArgTrack(track, trackids) : Unknown track: cytoBand
cytoBand informatin is not available, only get ranges.
Loading ranges...
Done
Error in `[[<-`(`*tmp*`, name, value = character(0)) : 
  0 elements in value to replace 464 elements

I know it's 3 years later, but I'll answer just in case someone is interested in this.

I've fixed the error described here and updated keryoploteR, so it's now possible to create the plot as expected and only the canonical chromosomes will be plotted (a common problem for new users).

Hope this helps
