    Yes indeed, just one chromosome for this program. The intervals are generally small but numerous in number since small interspersed sequences have been filtered out. 124467 intervals actually. It appears it will take a bit of time to go through all of them but I can't even imagine doing it the way I first proposed. Thank you for the help!
