You could see if there are any appropriate chain files provided in 
AnnotationHub 
(https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/AnnotationHub.html)


library(AnnotationHub)

ah = AnnotationHub( )

query(ah, "chain file")


or investigate other packages that do similar functions or address a similar 
types of data - they might have data you could use for the example as well.

Subject: EXTERNAL: [Bioc-devel] Question about package development

To whom it may concern,


I am Ghiwa a research assistant at Dr.Pierre Khoeuiry bioinformatic's lab at 
the American University of Beirut.


We are currently building our package and we have a question, we hope you can 
help us with.


While writing the documentation for the function(.Rd file) the examples section 
is mandatory, but our function uses

chrom.sizes and chain files which should be user provided.

How can we address this while writing the example? Should we include a 
chrom.sizes file and a chain file in the inst folder
to allow the example to run? And the disadvantage of that would be that the 
package would be large since the chain file is a large file.

Any recommendations?

Thank you.
Regards,
Ghiwa
